Isn't this the same site from three years ago? Back then, it "aimed to take on Erlang".

... and tried to fork Node's EventEmitter into "EventEmitter2":

This time it's "HTTP Microservices", eh? Maybe next time it'll be even more incredibly powerful and surprisingly simple.

That's an entirely different project from Nodejitsu. I don't know if it's still active.

The hook.io domain actually expired and went to public auction recently and I was able to purchase it.

Um... If it was an "entirely different" project from Nodejitsu, then why was it your project four years ago:

Give him a break, this is how projects - and especially personal projects - develop. You find a cool idea you want to explore on, the end product might be something totally different then what you started with.

Yes, but you don't typically replace the same domain with two totally different services. You create 2 new domains. I would never pay someone for a service when they've repeatedly shown that they're willing to throw out the system people have started depending on and replace it with something radically different. Not only can I not trust the stuff to stay around, I can't trust the developer to have enough of an attention span to care about the old stuff enough to even just leave it alone to keep working in maintenance mode.
