Slightly off-topic but I first read that as LogMeIn, Inc. has acquired Medium and was very confused.

Exactly. I didn't know what LogMeIn is, but clicked on this thread because I read "Medium" in the title...

Same here. Medium posts are sexy :-)

Boris from Meldium here. One of our customers wrote a great description on our blog ( http://blog.meldium.com/home/2014/5/19/the-web-setup-envy-la... ) which I'll paste here: "The actual implementation continually blows my mind. You're basically using a man-in-the-middle attack for good, if I don't betray my poor understanding of the concept. A less malignant analogy would be to liken it to the way telephone companie…

Does that imply that the browser extension does the MITM?

It's server-side and the browser extension unpacks the result.

Watch out, Meldium, LogMeIn likes to completely change it's game plan on its customers (LogMeIn mobile App drama) with zero sympathy. I wonder how they'll treat an acquisition.

We're nervous too. This is 2 apps we're dependent on getting acquired and potentially completely mangled. The first amazingly shut off all support for the UK (We're UK-based) immediately. Better for customers? Ha!

I as well. I'm guessing most people did. Meldium is hard to say even in my head.

I have never personally heard of them, and it is indeed hard to say. I have no idea why you've been downvoted.

Are we as commentators expected to keep up with every YC acquisition?

I'm a little curious about Meldium now, but I can't find any explanation as to how it works. Just a short text, flowchart or a video would have been useful.

Is there any way to integrate internal-only cloud hosted applications with Meldium? It looks awesome, in a similar space to OneLogin which is incredibly clunky by comparison, but for our usage, it needs to work with our internal apps too.

Boris from Meldium here. While I can't make promises, we intend to invest and improve our service for years to come!

If they're Internet accessible then yes! Feel free to email us (support at meldium dot com) to talk about it.

Yeah I also thought it was about Medium, even after reading it and coming back here.

I was wondering why Medium is suddenly so gung ho about security.
