Polywork Shutting Down

Posted on in misc

This morning, I got an email notification that polywork.com shutting down.

Polywork was a good idea.

I never updated it regularly because I was worried about such thing (it going away) But I liked the idea of putting regular “updates” and I started this microblog.

One of the reason I created this microblog is for the same reason. Otherwise, Polywork seems nice for such “What am I doing right now” notes.

What if Polywork goes away one day ? Once bitten twice shy.

In fact, I had considered polywork.desipenguin.com as well.

But then, I changed my mind for the same reason.

Polywork is a specific website which if goes away, may not make sense in the future. microblog on the other hand is a concept (I’m aware of https://micro.blog/)

I’m sad to see Polywork being shutdown.

Their landing page has no mention of it ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

But New Signups are disabled. I saw proper message only on one page.

Other places, Sign up leads to 404. Kinda bad, but then what does it matter if the website is going away in a month.
