Formerly Greplin. For those that don't know what it/they did:

Wow, I really thought their initial value proposition (originally as Greplin) was of great utility.

This is a real bummer - our company's first office was right next to Greplin and they were amazingly smart and quite nice. Good luck to the team.

For those of you that will miss Cue and Greplin, there is hope. We are about to release our cloud search feature at StartHQ.

Here's a screencast - search is towards the end: https://www.dropbox.com/s/04rrwxuuvkzpyrp/starthq.mp4

You can sign up here: https://starthq.com

Please use the Feedback form to let us know which services you'd like us to support and we will prioritize them for launch.

PS. For a bit of background on us, here's a blog post that was on the front page of HN on Monday http://www.arcticstartup.com/2013/09/30/starthq-capitalizes-...

PPS. Sad to see Greplin go, loved the service but was too afraid to give access to my data at all times, so ended up building our federated search which doesn't require that. Would be very interested to know more about what happened.

Yeah, I was kicking myself for not have thought of it when I first heard of them. Sad to see the company go out like this.

There were Cue job postings here on HN close to a month ago. :/

That's a shame, very cool concept. I wish them all the best. What was their actual business model though? Anyone know?

Is this the company that had that cool terminal adventure programming challenge?
