Wow, sad to hear this. They had an outstanding service.
Until I read the message on their homepage, I never realized they had a premium service!

#22Much sadness. Greplin was an amazing idea, but the execution was a little off for them to reach mass adoption (although I think it was ideal for a niche group of people). I think they tried to change that with their pivot to Cue, but obviously it was not successful.
I'll certainly remember their programming adventure challenge fondly. I hope they at least open source that, if they can't open source other parts of their software for whatever reason.

#23Did Cue every receive any buyout / exit options?

Does it matter? he advertises that page on pretty much all of his comments.
Yes, I do promote my startup whenever I can, but am always on topic. Why the negativity? Is it wrong to be vocal or do you feel like I'm dancing on Greplin's grave?
Your post comes across (to me) as self-serving and somewhat socially awkward. The "PS" and "PPS", in particular, are quite crass and not the way to promote a company. You seem like someone who meets me at a keg party and jumps right into a pitch as soon as I tell you my name.
No offense; I just prefer HN comments to be less blatantly promotional.

#25Their initial product was impressive and useful. Hope we get more information about what went wrong, and that the team lands somewhere good.

This has nothing to do with Cue/Greplin.
Did you watch the screencast to the end? i ran a search and got personalized results from all my web apps like Gmail and AngelList. How is this not like Greplin?
I know you're just trying to promote your company, but it feels a little like handing out business cards at a funeral. Sure, you can do it, but it seems little tacky. This post is still in the mourning phase. It will probably move on to the post-mortem, what is a replacement for it phase tomorrow or Friday.

#27Maybe they got an NSL - sudden shutdown, all data deleted...
Re: Cue is Shutting Down
#28I'd be very interested in learning why Cue is calling it quits -- I really loved the concept behind their service. Has anyone managed to find their contact information?

I can't reply to Chris' comment for some reason, so posting the reply here:
I'm sorry that I came across as crass and socially awkward - I hope I can prove to you that I'm not so bad in person one day.
The PS and PPS are edits because I got excited about what this meant for us and realized I was being too self promotional esp. to people that knew nothing about us, so thought I'd give some background and clarify my feelings.
PS. No offence taken :)

So it did come across as dancing one Greplin's grave - thank you for clarifying that.
I'm sorry. Next time I'll refrain from posting comments when I've only had two hours of sleep the night before.
