I'm really sorry that the project is closing. I've always liked the basic idea and I hope that in the near future you will be able to resume your journey. Thank you for your work and greetings from Italy.

Very sad that this day has come, but it's been exciting to watch you iterate on this product and since it's open source, i'm sure the story is not over.

100%! Your support has been instrumental since the early days. I've learned a lot, and if I stay in this niche, future iterations will reflect those lessons.

That's unfortunate, but can see why.

I'll certainly continue to take inspiration from idea market and your work on its foundations. We're building a Twitter alternative on Holochain and a lot of your ideas could find new expression in it. We don't have much funding at the moment, but that may change along the way, so if you'd be interested to talk now or then, that'd be awesome!

Absolutely! I've always liked Holochain. Anders (raisondelcalcul) was an early advisor to Ideamarket
