I wonder if they used Monodraw[1] to create their diagrams? Looks like they did! [1]: https://monodraw.helftone.com
Can Monodraw produce the animation as well, as seen on the webpage?

This would be a lot more convincing if the number was double what it is.
Why not double? Why not ten times, or a hundred, for extra convincingness?
The fact is that it only has to be good enough for them to find the people that they want, rather than for pleasing random HN commenters.

I like them too but just viewing the page on Firefox loads 5950X to 250%. A bit too much.
Wow. It loads almost instantly and doesn't slow down on my phone (LG G7). Must be something else?
You have to scroll all the way through the page to activate all the gimmicks. Then it never stops, and loads 2.5 cores permanently to 100%, which makes CPU fan spin to the max.

#224Something about this website takes my machine to 500% CPU load (Firefox/Linux). Good thing we will get 2048 cores soon...
Same. FF/Win

#227This looks interesting (although I'm not in the target market, too small)... But if I were looking at this, judging from the quality of people they've amassed in their engineering team, is there any chance they won't be acquired in 6 months? To anyone looking to take a bet on this, what is the answer to "what's your plan for when your stellar team gets acquired?" And what answer will satisfy that buyer? Update: Addin…
Hi! So, at every step -- from conception to funding to building the team and now building the product -- we have done so to build a big, successful public company. Not only do we (the founders) share that conviction, but it is shared by our investors and employees as well. For better or for ill, we are -- as we memorably declared to one investor -- ride or die. Also, if it's of any solace, I really don't think any of…
This is pretty refreshing. I wish you all the success that you deserve, really curious how this will work out. Best of luck there!

Companies have been acquired to shut down their product line before.
That requires them to be publicly traded (which I don’t think oxide is), or for a majority of the private share holders to essentially give up on the company.
Now I don’t know how oxide is set up, but I’d assume the founders still retain the large majority of shares.

#229It sure looks pretty, but appears to be - - dedicated to virtualization, done their way - rather inflexible in hardware specs - vendor-locked at the rack - if you have hardware from someone else, it can't live in the same cabinet I guess if you just want a pretty data center in a box and look like what they consider a 'normal' enterprise to be, it might appeal. But I'm not sure how many people asked for Apple-style h…
> - dedicated to virtualization, done their way > - rather inflexible in hardware specs > - vendor-locked at the rack - if you have hardware from someone else, it can't live in the same cabinet This describes legacy IBM platforms quite well. If they can leverage hyperscaling tech to be better and cheaper than what IBM is currently offering, that's enough to make it worthwhile.
It kind of does.
One main difference with IBM is the three letters I, B and M.
