Look - I'm am the opposite of DHH fan -- that said -- they could fix all these bugs/security issues that same way they created them. It makes sense to some extent to create a product that emphasized what is different about it from a feature/UX perspective so people can consider if it would even be useful to them at all. If they can prove that they have created something useful - then they can fix all these issues. Fixing these issues is not hard. Creating a useful product that people want -- this is the hard part.


They are amazingly good at creating hype (non-derogatory) and getting users.

Their docs say "Omarchy takes security very seriously" - I think that's straight up incorrect.

Saying "go and use it, wanting: its prototype quality and likely to have many security bugs" would be fair game.

That's not what they're doing.


Yes, 37Signals DHH have an amazing gift for taking something that is old and not interesting and getting a lot of attention for making it seem new and innovative. That is a gift!

When you do that you'll just a bunch of people clowning on the project due to the politics of the founder.
