ベン・ギルド (Ben Guild)


Bitsmash project retired, as well.

Today I made the end-all decision to cancel and shutdown the Bitsmash project.

A few key reasons:

  1. The project was generating basically no income, and yet was costing me ~$1,300 USD/month in server costs to run.
  2. A lack of public-awareness regarding the project. Also, a lack of my own dedication to developing it further at this point, as well.
  3. It needed a lot more work, and I couldn't really justify it. (This also sort of ties in with the lousy economy we're presently in.)
  4. Need to consolidate my focus onto things that matter, rather than saturating the market with new services.

My whole reason for starting any project is to fascinate people and/or make their lives easier. For this one, there just wasn't enough interest for it to feel like a success in that sense. — However, I did learn a lot more (as with any project) about various technologies that I otherwise don't often use, and therefore it was still worth my time, I feel! 👍🏻

So long, Bitsmash.
