Ask HN: passing the torch on userscripts.org

71 points

16 years ago

I'm unable to find the time/energy to give to userscripts.org lately. My startup is currently focused on building Nebula & Nova, and I cannot see finding time to devote to the site I spent 5 years building/running.

The site has been in "maintenance mode" since starting Nebula, but it deserves more.

The site is still very active (Google Analytics for last month): * 2,474,330 Visits * 9,532,743 Pageviews

The site is quantified: http://www.quantcast.com/userscripts.org

But it needs someone who can do the right thing for the community.

There will be technical issues scaling (rails 2.3, postgres, git). Legal issues (dealing with DMCA takedown notices/people who don't like scripts that "fix" their site). Community issues (the site lacks a nice directory and community aspects).

Companies or individuals are welcome but I need to know your intentions with the site going forward :)
