Damn, well good for them. Hope they made out with some profit from that and it wasn't an acquihire. I like those guys.

We've been using their private npm registry at Brightcove. Time to try out npm proper and it's newer features. We were having too many automated builds break due to npm flakiness before. But it's been 6 months at least since we went off of it and a lot has changed.

How disappointing that GoDaddy chose to shut the PaaS offering down, just to have these folks dedicated to working on a website builder for the lowest end sites on the web. Seems like a waste.
