  • Unfortunately there was some error in the first version of the benchmark and the app’s score was 4.1.

    The project was tightly tied to personal information about the dev, so he feared to be affected on his real life after negative comments started being posted.

    The last post on the community told that either a fork would continue or he would republish everything under a different GitHub account.

    A fork has indeed committed to continue his work and it has a couple of knowledgeable people working on it already, so it looks like nothing is lost. Plus the leaderboard has been amended 😉



  • From his explanation before removing everything:

    I find myself in a very uncomfortable situation right now because, after revealing my personal information as the project owner, the current circumstances create a real damage to my public image as a professional and as a person. My coworkers, my managers, my employers (current and future) can see all of this and my personal reputation is compromised.






  • The developer of Raccoon actually liked receiving feedback and constructive criticism, most of the issues reported had been solved it no time.

    The main reason for the takedown was that, using his real name and surname, his reputation as a professional developer was being damaged by people crying that 4.1/10 for Markdown sucked, that it was the app with the lowest score ever, etc.

    Seeing real damage and real losses in your personal life (for something you do as a volunteer) was probably perceived as a betrayal.
