Skiff raised ~$14m in VC to build an open source alternative Google Suite. Now it's being acquired by Notion and the code has been taken down. All software is ephemeral. File over app.

Code doesn’t seem to be down? https://github.com/skiff-org I don’t think they ever open sourced their backend. They didn’t use an OSS license AFAICT: CC-NonCommercial-ShareAlike https://github.com/skiff-org/skiff-apps/blob/main/LICENSE Which is similar to your Obsidian license (yours is better/well written)

I moved away from running my life in Notion when I realized they just want to trap you and suck your wallet dry for life. It’s clear that their next goal is to create a whole OS with email, calendar, and files built in. I won’t touch it. Notion is like Google: a place where good ideas/tech go to die.

Man! That's the ever present incentives problem playing out (yet again), right there! C'est la vie. Also, we can and have to do better!

😲 this is really bad. I have been running my own company for 10 years building only open source software. Hard as hell but doable. And this tells you who and how the new owners play. Be careful out there.
