    But SnapDrop was sold to LimeWire from what I remember, wasn&#x27;t it? I have it on my (somewhat popular) list <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;SMUsamaShah&#x2F;fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570256bb3b2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;SMUsamaShah&#x2F;fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570...

    Edit: so that was SnapDrop.net this is so confusing now. Are you the author of that GitHub repo?

        Looking at the history of the github repo of this show hn, the readme was previously linking to now Sold to LimeWire SnapDrop.net. Github author recently changed that to SnapDrop.me and is either doing a Show HN himself or this is another fishy play by LimeWire.
