Thank you. It's a bummer to be so excited for something I've worked hard for and then read haters hating all over the internet. This brightened up my day; hope we meet in person some day so I can properly say thanks.

Congrats Sam, it sounds like a good outcome, and I've always been impressed that you had the boldness to pursue a vision that involved working with carriers.

Ignore that haters - unfortunately Hacker News comments seem to have reverted to the mean (pun intended) as the site has grown.

Hey man, haters gonna hate. You compressed more success in 7 years than 99.9 % of programmers will in 4+ decades in a cubicle. Kudos.

Let the haters hate. Just like you might have shrugged off other, bigger downs during the 7 years of running Loopt, just shrug off the haters and savor the success, no matter how small or big it is. Very few people can lay claim to running a company for 7 years and coming out successful on the other end. Congrats and good luck for whats next.

Congrats Sam! You have accomplished a lot.
