Wow, not even giving a reason. Shameless.
I dont want the world to potentially lose another great project due to the bus factor T.T
There was a reason given, but it smells of bovine excrement: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/114041543384358354.
When probed a bit more about it, the silence was deafening.
Y i k e s. I knew he was a little sleazy but come on...
No, I don't think he is sleazy or have ill-intentions. I think he genuinely wants to do good things.
The problem it's just that he lacks focus and he worries more about feeling validated than dealing with the daily grind of continuously improving his product. As soon as any of his projects start getting a minimal amount of interest and people start depending on what he has promised, he finds himself some "new" project to be busy with. At the same time, he still feels possessive about his creations, so it's hard for him to just delegate away any significant part of the system.
I hope that the successful kickstarter makes him realize that shit got real and that he already got the validation that he was seeking, and that the money is enough to get him surrounded by good people who are a bit more focused on "proper" project management.
Yeah, that was too harsh sorry. I do hope he gets his shit sorted and starts making the right moves.
