I should start keeping track of the services for developers I hear about for the first time when they declare the end.

Oyster shut down?? That may explain why I haven't had to spambox any of their emails in a while.

Am I the only one that sees a failed sticky footer as a lack of attention to detail/not enough effort on the part of devs?

It's surprisingly (and sadly) non-trivial to make a sticky footer (that stays at the bottom of a page, even if the page's contents are not long enough to fill out 100% of the screen), but this is something I expect just about every experienced front-end dev to know by now.

For those curious about how you solve this (without flexbox, which is something I'd expect frontend devs to know/remember from repeated lookups): http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/layout.css

Ship.io apparently never raised money according to CrunchBase, which means this shouldn't be that unusual.

They should be able to get some funds by selling their domain though. I imagine someone would want to pay a good chunk of change for that.
