I have an announcement that I've been putting off
I'm putting the Nimbus project on pause
The reason is simple, I ran out of runway
This is probably the shittiest reason to have to cancel a project, but looking at my bank account, you can probably see why it needs to happen
The support that we received in the past few months was immense and I'm grateful for everyone who threw in their hat to contribute to Nimbus. I'm eternally grateful for you
I know Nimbus can take off and that people will pay for a solution like what we're building, but I simply can't afford to keep working on it right now
I'm sure that this could have been prevented if we shipped faster, focused more on monetizing earlier, or maybe just pursued some sort of fund raising, but none of that happened
So now I'm going to focus on stacking cash so I can have another run at it. Will it be Nimbus? I don't know, but I know whatever it is, it'll be worth risking it all over again
Thank you for being here, it means the world
See you space cowboy

Duplicating a site to steal credentials is a fundamental security risk. It’s why we even use HTTPS, so people can’t intercept our login info
“I cloned Citibanks login page and now I have your grannies bank account”
Honestly, pivot

Realizing @polar_sh is built with python should be the wake up call that your tech stack doesn't matter.
However, my tech stack is empirically the best one out there 😘

As a Californian, I can say that the money given to prevent fires went up with the forests they neglected.

I spoke with @finnbags
I understand how it works and i must say it seems legit
I'm talking with my co-founder on what to do with the money if we pull it out since it'll be a little while before we can put it to good use

Imagine... instead of having 6 tabs open, plus your file explorer, you just have one tab, with all your files under one clean intuitive interface.
Search across all sources, automated backups, share data across your devices, version control. All open source...
Pure heaven

You will be able to hook up any storage you want. Whether you bring your own or you have a cloud provider host it. Google drive is just the tip of the iceberg here

There seems to be a growing supply of clients like @mail0dotcom @analogdotnow @nimbusdotcloud and @joincalldotco to bring these services into the future
We'll see if there's demand to match.
I'm bullish
