Ask HN: What product/service do you want to stay independent?
First off, to avoid semantic distinctions that would detract from the possible answers, I&#x27;ve tried to word this question to allow for a lot of subjectivity. I hope this &quot;pseudo-coded&quot; question works out. Without further ado:<p>Inspired by this comment [0], I&#x27;m interested in your answers to this question: Is there an [independently|privately] owned [product|service|app] that you [use|depend on|really love], and would [prefer|desire|demand] stay [independent|private]?<p>And the extra credit follow up: Is there some corporation you <i>would</i> trust to take it over? What&#x27;s your &quot;Plan B&quot; if it gets snapped up?<p>[0]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12206192
