Plus when they shutdown their app platform.

Does this mean they're shutting down?

Agreed, are they closing down the platform for good? I haven't come across such announcement yet.

If they shut down completely you may as well say goodbye to all the assets you had with them.

yet another startup I only hear about when they are shutting down.

Perhaps it’ll be shut down closer to when or shortly after the product actually launches.

And it’s all gone, when they shut it down.

I think the OP was referring to "shutting down" in the sense of stopping development on their consumer-facing app. The article likely meant that they weren't "shutting down" in the sense that the employees will still be working together in more-or-less the same organizational structure as pre-acquisition.

This smells like an app that will be shutting down in about six months.

Them shutting down is going to have some interesting side effects with their Github integration. Wish Github would buy them up and continue running the service.

pcr0 | karma 1387 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2020-12-12 00:19:15+00:00

The fact that they shut down the API and Android app.

drakonandor | karma 135 | avg karma 0.96 · | 2017-03-30 23:26:25+00:00

Someone has as they did close down the app at some point a few years ago.

doopy-loopy2 | karma 52 | avg karma 0.75 · | 2020-08-12 20:20:03+00:00

Yeah, now they will shut down.

staticelf | karma 2501 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2016-06-16 12:24:42+00:00

Why did they shut down all the apps/software that they acquired? Why not simply to continue with the service like they did with tumblr?

coldtea | karma 86593 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2020-12-16 10:25:46+00:00

So, shutting down soon?

I also believe there will be another drop when the apps actually are shut down. Now people are loggin in to get the last details without much hassle. I did this myself, it’s muscle memory to open Apollo and browse it, even with some subreddits closed. When the app are down… there will be the another spike, which Reddit has to overcome. At that moment I will most probably also shut down.

I still use the client, I think if they do shut it down they’ll provide a generous timeline etc.

ttrreeww | karma 343 | avg karma 1.3 · | 2013-05-14 22:19:39+00:00

Which will then cause them to be shut down.

having seen the price increases as a user over the past four years, I can't imagine them shutting down for any reason. they should be sleeping on a bed of cash (I hope)
