So, I guess there was a Litsy Award? It would probably be good to add it. Do we have archives? Here's what I've got so far: Litsy Award

I think you got them all. The awards happened in 2017, the company shut down Mar/Apr 2018 and promptly reanimated by LT.

I wasn't aware they did that. Litsy was running without any assistance for some time. They gave it to us right before the disk was about to fill :)

>4 timspalding: Eh. My history in >3 lesmel: is close enough. There was lots of dire OMG happening in 2018 & LT runs it/owns it, yes? LT saved the service, yes?

Yeah, it would have gone away. We bought it for $1. We figured it was a nice bookish community that shouldn't die. We had some hopes for it to grow, and sank a lot of hours into a web version, but it proved hard to grow it. We never received the Android code, which is why that version is no longer on the Google site.

>1 davidgn: Do you happen to know how the winners chosen back in 2017? I see a winner, in 2020, for "Debut of the Year", on the list you linked to (thank you). Were these selected by Litsy HQ or community poll or darts thrown at a list?
