deepleap cancels the ticket. metafilter has hardly a backstory, yet... quite an apocalyptic vision to think about the destiny of web apps, generally. "if pyra does go under" someone states, "think of all the bloggers out there who'll be left hanging". this is a real concern: other than the software on my hard disk, web apps are very likely to disappear completely when discontinued. without pyra i cannot use blogger anymore, without mfactory i still can use mtropolis (just as an example).
