Ruby Facets.

A number of its methods have become standard Ruby in one form or another, so it’s not as helpful as it once was. But there’s still some utility in there.

I haven’t had the time to work on it these last few years, but I do plan to revisit it, hopefully soon. Maybe I’ll remerge a couple of spin-off projects (e.g. English, ANSI and Hashery) to give a new lease on life.

Ah yes, death by upgraded standards

Saasform: https://github.com/saasform/saasform

I had to prioritize another project (solokeys).

I still really believe both: 1) in an open source alternative to auth0, 2) in combining auth+payments for saas.

However, because they’re two problems, it’s probably best to focus on just one. For me trying to launch Saasform the issue has been to find and onboard customers quickly and at scale.

Wow. That's an awesome project! God damn customers, who needs them...
I've never lost interest in a successful project.. I've never been successful.
