Can you provide details of your particular short position? What's the strike/expiration if you have puts? What percent of your portfolio did you put into this position?

Is it actually in a usable state right now?

The last 3 times I tried to use it the ~5 projects you had to run/put together to get any higher-level usable application were always in some way incompatible with each other, as they always seem to be in a constant mode of refactoring. Figuring out a set of compatible versions looked like more like a dark ritual than anything else.

Hi Marak! Let me know if you think this response is fair: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27252331. I'd summarize it as "we used a MIT library to generate some data, and unbeknownst to us, this MIT library linked to proprietary data. We then immediately removed such data once we found out."

If you don't think that's a fair reaction, would love to hear your perspective and buy you a coffee next time I'm in NYC. I'll send you an email now. :)

Hm, sorry you found us to be expensive. Two notes:

* Forms (ie the product here) is free.

* We’ve always aimed to build a sustainable business where we charge reasonable prices and can guarantee we’ll stay in business ourselves. It’s true there are other products that are cheaper, but every single one of those companies is unprofitable and many will probably be dead in a few years. See, for example, Airplane, Interval, or Dynaboard. Dynaboard just got acquired today (their founder is apparently “thrilled” about it: https://dynaboard.com/blog/figma-acquires-dynaboard) and they’re shutting down on April 30th. If you’re a paying customer you’ll need to rebuild all your apps by then. Ouch! (I’d rather pay more and not have worry about core pieces of my business getting shut down with three months’ notice.)

The demo looks awesome, I’ll definitely bug you once I’m ready to implement it for my project. How long have you been working on this?
