It is my sad duty to announce that the time has come for Devshop to bid farewell.
Devshop has operated for nearly 5 years. The company has had the wonderful support of many smart & talented people over the journey, including advisors, supporters, investors and fans who all believed there was a better way.
Timing is everything as they say, and without the ability to properly fund the company through its next stage of growth, the time has run out.
The Devshop service will continue operating until the end of April 2010, at which point it will be time to turn out the lights, sigh a little and close the door. If you have any data that you need to retrieve from the application before hand, please make sure to login and extract it.
In parting, I’ll leave you with 2 videos I recorded some time ago, in the early days. One was a commercial, which intended to capture the spirit of what I was trying to accomplish. The other is a lecture I gave which intended to share the thinking behind it all. Both, I believe, still ring true today.
