DevjaVu will be shutting down

As one of a few (very) small angel investors in DevjaVu, I'm both sad to see it go and excited to see what Jeff Lindsay will do next.<p>If the past week has been any indication, he's going to build a small army of web API related infrastructure projects: <a href="http://www.scriptlets.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.scriptlets.org/</a> <a href="http://www.postbin.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.postbin.org/</a> <a href="http://github.com/progrium/hookah/" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/progrium/hookah/</a>

disclaimer: I run xp-dev.com and am probably in direct competition with devjavu<p>The whole hosted project/version control business is tough. For starters the market is crowded. Additionally, a lot of people do want it all for free. To top it off, it's uber resource (space + bandwidth) intensive.<p>There are some really good folks out there who provide a great service and devjavu's one of them. Its sad to see it shutting down, and I can empathize with Jeff on his decision to terminate the service.

I was confused for a moment and thought that this was about the DejaVu fonts project discontinuing development. The DejaVu fonts are very complete and cover much of the characters Unicode standard.

Hmm, I wonder if hosting ate up most of their money.<p>You guys could always get a slice at linode and save even more.

Jeff, sorry to hear the news. I'll always remember you pitching Devjavu back in 2006 in the stairwell at STIRR in SF.
