This was my feeling from the first time I saw it on HN. I am in the Apple ecosystem, so I had no need for it anyways, but I didn’t expect a product to last when it relies on Apple not restricting something they clearly want to restrict.
It clearly got them a lot of press, attention, and recognition. But also indicated, to me, that they are just not reliable.
The team seems very intelligent and capable. I truly hope they find something to do next that doesn’t rely on such a fragile bridge.
