This was the first thing that I thought of. Jason calls the idea "Memory Hole", which is both a much better and much worse name than "Hibou".

Jason here! I totally agree - the name "Memory Hole" doesn't really make any sense at all given what it means -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hole

But something about it always made me laugh, so that's what I called it.

Anyway, I'm so glad that someone FINALLY got around to building the damn thing! I guess the lesson here is that if you want something done, either do it yourself, or ... be prepared to wait a really long time. ;)

Hahaha, I totally agree. I've just reached out to them for some feedback. Seems like they've spent a lot of time thinking about this.
