Ohoh ! Vincenius !!

You have no idea how happy I was when I saw your name pop up ahahha

Yeah, no luck either. It really broke my heart to see the project stall like that.

That's what pushed me to rebuild everything, keeping the same open spirit you had from day one.

Thanks a lot for the kind words about the UI it means a lot coming from you.

And if you ever feel like jumping back in (I totally get that it might be tricky, especially since you sold the original project and this one is so close) but you’d always be welcome.

Your input, ideas, or even just your presence would mean a lot !

Cheers !

Could be a new tab "collab" or something to do with joint work maybe, one could post a site, repo or detail a past work experience and anyone who was around or passed thru could reconnect, discuss stuff and share anecdotes. Thinking long dead internal faang tools, stuff like op's post, abandoned repos, old shareware etc. Could also be a place to find cofounders or people interested in starting or working on stuff together.

That would be interesting to see. Kinda like a tell-hn, but for old/abandoned projects? I've worked on a few of those internal projects (such as time-traveling vector db for ML tools back in '19), and stuff like that.

Dunno how useful it would actually be, but an interesting thought.

		I would be into this. I'm basically trying to teach myself development by doing things with abandoned projects I find interesting. While nothing I do is even remotely production-ready, it would be cool to pair with someone more experienced to gain better understanding and perspective since it seems remarkably hard to find a mentor.
