Skitch leaves plasq
The great screen capture, annotation and sharing service has all grownup, left the plasq stables and become its own fully fledged company.

For users this change will not affect you in any noticeable way - skitch.com is still the main home and some of the same people are working on it but you'll be seeing big things coming soon!

If you have not tried out Skitch yet - give it a go... You're missing out!

Sign-up for the beta and download it here: http://skitch.com/signup

Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/08 17:33 Hey plasq fans/customers/sock puppet aficionados,

plasq and it's members started as a Audio / Music focused crew who also happened to do Comic Life. While a quirky combination, it proved to be an incompatible mix for a small company. Not to mention as humanoids like you, our minds and hearts wander and we found ourselves more interested in the visual side of software. The quirky bit isn't going to change though

We decided to focus on directions where we believe we can make the biggest difference and also enjoy what we do. With the excitedly received announcement of Skitch and of course, Comic Life, you can see this direction taking form.

Be sure, we didn't make this decision lightly, but have decided to stop selling Rax 2 and Wormhole2.

We will certainly continue to offer support for Rax 2 and Wormhole 2 for existing licensed users for a year after purchase date, give or... give, an extra half a year on top of that.

We are still very proud of these products however - so it seems a terrible waste to just let them die.

So... what now? Well, we want your thoughts on exactly that!

Some of the options:
* Sell them to a company that better suits the products (and vice versa!)
* Release for free but without support or updates. (owners will still receive support)
* Open source the projects.
** Wormhole might make sense to hand over to a project like Jack / JackOS X

Now it's your turn to talk

Cris

Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/09 04:39 I just came here today cause wormhole was on my to-be-purchased-list for quite some time and I decided to buy it this month. And now you stopped selling it, well that's too bad..
Do you plan to release it as no-support-free-version any time?

If there's still a chance to get it, I'd love to know..

OK, first read, then post - if I had read the first post...

As I'm a big fan of opensource software and try to give back to the community whenever I can by providing my time for beta-testing, releasing my own plugs/skins for free and donating to devs that release extra-ordinary free software, my vote is this:

-> release the latest binaries for free without support and perhaps release the source code as it could be a great step forward for the linux world.. I'm just getting into making music with linux now that energyXT2 evolves on that platform. It would be a great addition if we could use a linux-box alongside osx/win.

Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/09 06:43 Wow, it's funny as I was just planning on buying both Wormhole & Rax 2 later this year when I buy a Mac to complement my PC setup (I also want to run Metasynth as that is unlikely to ever be ported to Windows).

In any case, I think that Wormhole SHOULD be made open-source in order to keep maximum potential for future platforms (Linux, future Mac OS versions, Windows, etc.) and plug-in formats (DX version?).

As for RAX, I think based on the tight integration between it and aspects of OSX, it should be sold off to Apple if possible, if not, then open it up for possible Linux development.
