Thanks for the send-off, everyone. Feels right somehow to hit the HN homepage one more time before putting Gratipay to bed. So many lessons learned, already scheming about Next Time™. See you down the line! :D

This is a startup shutting post on HN, and everyone here is focussing on how you are an awesome person. That's a first in the few years I've been here. Good luck with the next thing!

Although this is not the first time I came across the names Gratipay and Gittip, I never really knew what it was. It looks like you're doing amazing things though. Do you have an RSS feed or something to follow you, so I (and others) will be notified when Next Time™ is there?
Well, dang. I'd just recently setup an account with Gratipay for our OSS projects. It's not brought in any money, but it seemed like the most transparent and OSS-friendly platform for raising funds. Sorry to see it go. Funding OSS is a very, very, hard problem.

Thanks for the kind words! I won't pretend I didn't put a lot of work into Gratipay over the years, but the reality is that so did a lot of other people. The most meaningful part about Gratipay for me is and has been the community building it. Gosh, I want to start naming names but then I'll forget someone. Aww, heck ... Thank you clone1018, co-owner of Gratipay, LLC! Thank you mattbk, jessa, rohitpaulk! Thank you ed…
Okay, now tell me who I forgot (I"M SORRY!!!!)! :D

Haha OK, just make sure you get to the front page in the future :)
In my experience HN actually does a pretty good job of filtering signal from noise. All of our attempts to _force_ something to the homepage failed, but when we have had genuinely interesting news to share (such as this) we glide there effortlessly. The take-away for me is to focus on doing genuinely interesting things! :^)

Ahhh, sorry for the surprise. :( Best of luck!

Thank you jordanmessina and steveklabnik and joeyespo and everyone who put us on HN way back at the start. Thank you marvinpinto for putting us back here one more time. ;)
Thank you everyone who funded my/our Gratipay habit directly by giving to myself or the Gratipay team on Gratipay. Especially UkuleleRod.
Thank you Jessica and Leah and Miriam and Sammy and Ruthie and all of our friends and family for absorbing so much stress over the years.
