Why shut it down instead of maintaining it for passive income #783

Closed wentin closed 2 years ago

Hi dear creator, I was a customer (not very active but loved it when using it and happily paid for the service). I am really surprised and sad to find out it is no longer operative. I am in need of the tool and there is no alternative on the market. Why not run it as a passive income stream instead of shutting it down? If the server cost outweighs the subscription, I am happy to chip in to support it!

Hey! Thank you for your support : ) Actually there is no dev anymore in the team ; at the shutdown, we didn't migrate from GraphCool to Prisma and they also shut down the service on July 2020. That's why there is no online version anymore… But some users reported that an older version is still working on localhost : https://github.com/byte-foundry/prototypo/issues/767
