I always liked the way EverythingMe approached open source.

Now that they are shutting down they are doing the same, open sourcing everything they can and being generally open with the plans and intentions for the future (of the code/product etc)

More companies should behave this way, just because the business didn't work, doesn't mean a lot of people can't benefit from the work you put in.

Kudos to the EverythingMe team for this.

Thanks, as a member of the team I'm glad we got the opportunity to do this, if only for the selfish motive of reusing some of this code on my next job ;)

Thank you!

I actually just discovered http://redash.io/ thanks to this announcement, it looks really useful - will try it ASAP

Good luck with your future endeavours!

it's an amazing tool, used by many many companies. the author is actually working on spinning it into a standalone company (with no connection to EverythingMe)
