My software didn't take off as either an opensource project or a business, so when we folded, the former customers would have been left high and dry anyway. "Fortunately", the reason for the final fold was that the last customer left, so at the final hour the set of former customer was empty.

The work lives on as a github repo that nobody cares about. I'm not upset about it today, I learned a lot, but that's how it is.

Btw. it's:

I think you missed my point. The fact that the repo still exists is all that would matter to your former customers. They could download the code and fix the problems themselves (hopefully contributing back to the codebase by re-releasing their fixes).

I have a long list of 'failures' behind me, not a single one I would care to repeat but also not a single one that didn't teach me something, I always cherish the thought that the failures eventually led to the opportunities that worked out and that without them those wouldn't have happened either. For the same money you would have had the next mongodb.

That was a pretty crowded space at the time.
