Ken - Are you actually using hook.io? I suspect you are not. If you are, you have the code and can continue to use it if you feel so inclined.
If you are genuinely concerned about continued development, you can fork and rename the project at any time. I'm telling you as the creator, you should not waste your time. There are several fundmental problems with hook.io ( many of which are technical ). Solving these problems would require an entire new suite of libraries and tools, which do not exist. - Marak On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Ken <[email protected]> wrote: > Interpersonal drama aside, I actually think this is a very interesting > scenario and something the node community should probably consider > developing some best practices around.
