Did Jev take off briefly and stopped getting talked about a few days later? Yes.

But that doesn't make it a failure. In the era where we have:

a) an AI hype cycle where the benchmark of "successful product" is ChatGPT, Claude Code, etc. b) a social media environment that only rewards the most-engaged content

It's easy to declare something "fell off" because it didn't immediately revolutionize how everyone does their daily work.

But by that measure, nearly everything is a failure, even if it creates great businesses. That's especially true for infrastructure that runs in the background.
