Will it come out somebody signed a NDA + non-disparagement agreement with Manifold by the end of 2024?

lol regarding the 2nd screenshot - our TOS is some over restrictive legal boilerplate we never bothered to look at and just crammed in for iOS and google one-tap.
for instance there's this clause

You shall not: (1) except as permitted by applicable law, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, or decrypt the application; (2) make any modification, adaptation, improvement, enhancement, translation, or derivative work from the application

but we're open source and we do want people to build off the api and fork it if they want to!

We've paid out one severance to date (probably don't try too hard to publicize this person's identity, thanks). I'm 90% sure we didn't ask for a non disparagement or non disclosure.

predicts NO

@Austin are there situations where you would consider signing agreements like that to be a reasonable action?

@CodeandSolder idk, I'm good at coming up with hypotheticals -- maybe I suspect an employee might be borderline psychotic and it seems like a nondisparagement would be in Manifold's best interest?? even harder to think of when a nondisclosure might be good

tbc, I'm speaking off the cuff and these are not like Official Manifold Statements or whatnot

Very uncertain here, but I imagine Manifold hasn't quite reached that point in their development yet.

feels appropriate to tag person sort of being talked about, @Austin
