__ __ __ ___ /__` | | |\/| \ / / \ | / ` |__ .__/ |___ | | | \/ \__/ | \__, |___ Slimvoice, the lightweight invoicing app, was shut down April 1, 2023. Users were notified via email on December 31, 2022 and a banner was placed at the top of the site. Despite many requests to sell the business, we put our integrity and your privacy first. We are proud to say that Slimvoice never sold out; your data was never shared or sold for any reason. All user data has been permanently deleted. Much effort was spent improving Slimvoice in deep and meaningful ways. Redesigning it to work with near-zero JavaScript was a major milestone for us. We wanted it to be simple, fast, and correct (a seemingly tall order in this insane world of barely-functional software we live in). We're proud of what we built, but it never felt quite right to be storing everyone's data under one roof and being the sole access point for it. Your data is too personal - you should be responsible for your data, not someone else. It's in everyone's best interest to shut it down, even if that's hard to see right now. We have considered building a local native invoicing app to take the place of the online version, but the vision, energy, and financial incentives aren't in place for us to make that happen right now. We urge you to consider less centralized solutions to all of your problems that don't involve the Internet where possible. Do it for your sanity, your family, your planet, or whatever justification feels most compelling to you. http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/1717 The good news is that shutting down Slimvoice has freed up resources and mental space for us to work on a MUCH bolder project, one inspired by computers of yore that didn't spy on you, didn't beg you for micropayments, and just did what they were told. Slimvoice will be eventually, one day, folded into this new project. Watch this space. Thanks, and take care.
