Oh, you were asking a simpler question: "why is the site down?" Sorry!

We'll probably put it back on the air at some point in 2017. It's down for a lot of little reasons (inefficient AWS configuration, occasional need to babysit, the need to adjust a lot of little messaging things around the site so as not to make people think we're still recruiting off it, &c) that add up to enough hassle that it's easier to have it be down for now.



Are you planning to open source it so people can run it locally?


Open sourcing something like that involves way more work than just keeping it running.


Nope.


Why not?


All downside, no upside.
