After years of posting LaunchKit products to Product Hunt, we announced some exciting news yesterday. In short, LaunchKit has joined Google! As we focus our efforts on building great developer tools at Google, we also want to make everything we’ve built at LaunchKit even more accessible. So, we’ve open sourced all of our services so anyone can set up their own instance of our tools! @TaylorHughes did a phenomenal job making this easy, and we hope the community enjoys the ability to spin up LaunchKit and use the code however they want!

Congrats ! - This is both good and bad! :) I really think 'super users' has potential, and hoping that someone picks this up and runs with it a bit... Is there a timeline when the server that supports it disappears?

@sheppyc The service will continue to run for 12 months. I'm hoping somebody fires up a public LK instance for analytics; I think there's potential for this type of user-focused detail that isn't surfaced in most tools. If you want to get it set up yourself, it would probably only take a day of tinkering to get it working on an Amazon EC2 instance of your own. Then the LK iOS SDK just needs a new URL to point at... :) Also do check out Firebase Analytics; it's pretty awesome and will be free forever.

Congrats on taking it the philanthropy way. I don't know, but I would be going through quite an emotional turmoil doing this. There's obviously a much bigger goal now @ LaunchKit, but I can just imagine, atleast if I would ever be in a fortunate situation like yours, to feel a tad bit selfish - but selflessness wins :)

@akhilsinght I'm mostly excited that the code might live on in interesting new ways. :) It was fun cleaning it up a bit to make it easier to use.
