This is something David Vongries has clearly been planning for a while, conveniently announced right after getting everyone’s renewal payments for the overpriced and underwhelming Kirki Pro.

For the most part, the few pro features were clones existing features with shiny new names – but we happily handed Vongries our $248 USD/year thinking that we were financing ongoing Kirki development. If you look everything that has(n’t) happened since Stathopoulos sold it to Vongries I don’t think that continued development was ever in the plans. This whole thing feels like a grift.
