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.

Software is ephemeral because it is built on an ever-changing substrate. Hardware evolves, operating systems evolve — the needs themselves may change. You can fork the code and keep it alive for a little while, but it won't be maintained forever.

Isn't the idea of programmable blockchains to provide this very concept (an immutable substrate to build forever applications on)? I realize Skiff isn't purely onchain, but so close...
