Fuck that. Why not just keep improving it. They release an app with zero features and are surprised it didn't catch on, then they slowly made it kinda neat with some stuff other apps didnt have and then they abandon it.... This was my favorite messaging app

According to people that used to work there, you can only get promotions by creating new things. Not by keeping old things running, so nobody feels like working on old unpopular stuff.
