Hello! Wow, cool to hear you followed along with Kod. It did ship and was used by a bunch of people. Its code is open source and still up on the github: https://github.com/rsms/kod

More importantly Kod was a side project I did for fun during an extended vacation. I remember publishing the first version on a December evening while visting my Mom on the countryside of Sweden. The next morning the program had been downloaded 25000 times and I was like "wat?!" A really fun little side project.

Playbit is something quite different to me. It is an _idea_ more so than a _solution_, it is a concept and path to a new alternative for software creating and sharing which I deeply believe in. Playbit is the beginning of a materialization of years of discussions, thoughts, experiences and research. I hope that I will have something more concrete to share soon. We have gotten so used to quick quick quick low-end web apps turning things around in a few months that I fear expectations on all software has been affected; Playbit is a long-term project and not something that will be "done" in a few months.

Then again, I might screw this up and it might die as a concept and some half-written code. I guess we will see :–)

Thanks for the response, definitely excited to see where you take this and the videos you tweeted looked interesting. I'm certainly all for long term projects :)
