Do you remember any details about the name of the software, or the cause of the lawsuits?

I had a similar idea, funny to hear it's been done and ended so badly.

I don't recall any lawsuits, but whytheluckystiff made one 20 years ago. https://ruby-talk.ruby-lang.narkive.com/buiXXTZh/what-is-hoo...

I believe it was https://web.hypothes.is/

Don't know if it matches with the lawsuits, but could've been Third Voice (1999-2001).

It was so long ago, I literally have no idea. Sorry
