The linked issue is gone...

paul90 commented 1 year ago

https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/discussions/1944 is a discussion thread, it is still there.

cuibonobo commented 1 year ago

Ah, sorry for the noise. The issue was that discussion threads aren't visible for me on the GitHub mobile app for some reason.

paul90 commented 1 year ago

For those unable to see the discussion thread, I'll quote pfrazee's reply of 10 Sept 2021

Yeah I'm real sorry to say, I'm going to be closing down this project in the very near future. I'll do a post mortem and share more, but in the intro to my follow-on project I do give a few words on why I felt it was time to change the approach: https://atek.cloud/blog/hello-world

Worth observing that Atek Cloud is also no more, but the blog post mentioned is available via the Internet Archive - https://web.archive.org/web/20220525100741/https://atek.cloud/blog/hello-world

Yeah I wish I could've given more prompt and definitive answers, but a lot of things take a while (esp around paperwork).

@paul90 has it right, and the missing piece of the puzzle there is that I was recruited as one of the two primary engineers on Bluesky. I couldn't pass up that opportunity; it's values-aligned, well resourced, and the team is really talented.

Beaker is definitely done and I just need to wind it down officially. Atek was the followup project, and it was going to be a difficult product to land but it was a good direction to take P2P technology. The creators of Beaker's p2p tech are now building https://keet.io/ which is also a good direction to go. At some point, I'll get that post-mortem done.
