This is good. What competitors do you fear?

Also, why no WeChat? The stickers are the best there !

I think the way it is now in the readme accurately reflects the state of development. Still possible, but not actively working on and not currently interested in any non chrome stuff.

But at any time, it may just come back, you know? Boom.. and then it's back. Haha !

Which suits me perfectly for where i am right now. :)

Thank you for saving that, pirate niki! I think i saved a copy as well, right? Yep, here https://archive.is/jcURO

I've got lots of these archives of issues and comments lying around. It's good to see more!

Btw i knew you'd show up on a comment thread where i posted my stuff. You're like obsessed with my project, right? Why, haha? Maybe because you've got you own archive project, the archive box. "Competition". Hahaha. I hope you haven't got to the point of "search alerts" obsessed, hahaha, don't fret too much, niki pirate! Everyone check out pirate's the archive box, he made the trip here, do him a favor!

Maybe Ma was just trying to stay out of the limelight[0] until the investigation of Ant Financial settled down a bit. He also owns SCMP[1], which has a mix of supportive and critical articles on the central government. Assuming he wanted to throw some pressure, in the mild form of (probably mostly disregarded) external censure back on the investigation, he may have been passive aggressively refusing to show his face. Perhaps to sow suspicion he'd been mysteriously detained in order to draw (Western) media scrutiny, and the "inevitable" torrent of China-critical speculation that invites. Of course, it could also be an Elon Musk-style stock manipulation play, but I think he's more motivated by the passions than pure financials.

Speculation is fun, but it's possible this is apophenia.

[0]no pun intended, he does like to dress up in camp drag and sing, if you don't believe, search for the videos, it's pretty funny for an (ex) CEO to do this

[1]this article doesn't have much more than the Reuters link, but does have a couple of videos https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3118454/alibaba-f...

I'm working in that in my "self host the internet offline from your browsing history" project

https://github.com/c9fe/22120

It makes a web archive from everything you browse, and lately I've been working on the full text search
