I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future.

From their blog, below is what's up : March 12, 2015   - New project creation disabled. August 24, 2015  - The site goes read-only. You can still checkout/view project source, issues, and wikis. January 25, 2016 - The project hosting service is closed. You will be able to download a tarball of project source, issues, and wikis. These tarballs will be available throughout the rest of 2016.

Larry Page, CEO Google. I then clicked  Alphabet have a look at the site (https://abc.xyz) I loved it, I love it.  Simple, clean, nice font, not clattered...definitely clean stuff, a caliber fitting what I develop.  Mhh..Back to the point.
