Had no idea it was bought.

Look, I think the brand has a lot of baggage with the tech community. You just can't put ads in downloads and expect it to all blow over.

I don't know how you go about re-building trust after something like that.

Bug: The floating bar on the right side, "Recent Posts" etc. I can never see the last box. When I get to the bottom of the page it's still covered.

Thanks for the bug report I'll take a look. My company didn't put ads in the downloads, and we when we took over we stopped that practice. I think most people can discern the difference, but if not it's okay. We're just focused on doing right by the million daily users and 430,000 projects hosted here.

Question: how many of those 430 thousand projects have seen an update in the last year?
