So, news today is that I'm closing down placemark.io macwright.com/2023/11/13/place

It's okay! It was a hard decision but I made it a while ago and have (mostly) processed the feels.

@tmcw this is an extremely classy move and I respect it

@tmcw Sorry to hear. I was paying from day 1 and it’s been great (found a little new-to-me feature yesterday that saved me half a day’s work!) Godspeed 🫑

Gabriel Garrido

@tmcw I remember when you first announced this. It was fun to follow along the journey. Godspeed!

@tmcw As someone on a team of people trying to build simple, collaborative, open mapping tools, I appreciate all the work you've done.

@tmcw congratulations on the transition and sorry again that it didn't work out better. I think open sourcing it might have a real impact.

Jack Dougherty

@tmcw Thank you for creating another fabulous tool, and while I’m sorry your business plan did not work out, thank you for deciding to release the code as open source.

@tmcw you had to give it a try, the sustainable startup mode. looking forward to see what you emit next

Ilya Zverev

@tmcw Oh :( I had high hopes for the project, given it's from you. This shows how low the chance of survival is in the mapping world.
