I should add that to the reason the network ultimately failed. Supposedly they will open up the source code but we'll see if that actually happens. No idea what if anything they'll do with the domain in the end. -
Morgan McMillian (thrrgilag)'s status on Sunday, 12-Mar-2017 17:43:16 CET Morgan McMillian Saying goodbye to old networks
This week I'm saying goodbye to an old network as App.net is shutting down http://blog.app.net/2017/01/12/app-net-is-shutting-down/.
I joined App.net back in 2012 with the promise of a social network with a different business model from Twitter. It was a service focused on benefiting developers and users who were willing to pay for a better experience rather than advertisers and data mining. Unfortunately that idea wasn't enough and App.net couldn't become a sustainable business. Rather than breaking their promise and becoming yet another advertising network they scaled back the service and ultimately had to close the doors.
As another social network fades into the background I'm taking some time to reflect on what I've gained rather than lost. I've met some amazing people on App.net and have been lucky enough to keep up with them as they've moved on to other places. I've also gained some useful development experience. For those reasons I'll remember App.net with fond and happy memories rather than mourn it's loss. As far as I am concerned, App.net was a success. -

Morgan McMillian (thrrgilag)'s status on Sunday, 28-Aug-2016 16:33:44 CEST Morgan McMillian I've started work in earnest on a couple of apps for #SailfishOS. Two social network client apps, a port of Renamed Todo, and one other that is in the planning stages. All of these are or will be open source projects and code will be published on my site. -

I've pulled Todo.txt Enyo for the PlayBook from BlackBerry World today and I will no longer be developing for this particular device. My biggest reason has to do with the SDK and the odd bit of hacking it took to build this particular application (the combination of Java and Adobe AIR to build HTML5 apps is a bit bonkers). With Dropbox deprecating v1 of their API I felt it was a good time to bring this particular effort to an end. The source code will continue to be available from my site for those who wish to build their own BAR files. On the brighter side of things the Palm SDK still continues to work so I'll be continuing support for webOS. I'll be posting more on that in the near future. -
