認識一下svbtle，一個你沒有被邀請加入的漂亮的部落格平臺，以及obtvse，它的開源克隆

幾個月前，著名作家和使用者體驗設計師達斯汀•柯蒂斯（dustincurtis）厭倦了部落格平臺的“缺乏靈感的本質”，他從頭開始建立了自己的個人部落格。在看到他所說的思維和寫作方式的改進後，柯蒂斯決定以Svbtle的名字與其他人分享他的佈局和管理工具。現在全世界都可以從這個看起來很棒的平臺上獲益，對吧？可惜沒有。相反，柯蒂斯正在向一群經過審查的部落格精英開放。...

"The goal is simple: when you see the Svbtle design, you should know that the content is guaranteed to be great. Network bloggers are encouraged to keep quality high at the expense of everything else."

Svtble確實已經有了一些好的內容，Curtis在他的宣告中暗示，這個平臺將向公眾開放，但是圍繞這個網站已經有了一些爭議。在這則公告被分享到駭客新聞後，Svbtle因其封閉平臺的做法招致了大量批評。進入舞臺左邊，奈特·維納特。顯然對柯蒂斯的開發方法和他過去處理批評的方式感到不滿，維納特決定翻拍整個平臺。他稱之為Obtvse，它幾乎和最初的平臺一樣，沒有一些動畫。Wienert已經釋出了原始碼以供任何人編譯、編輯和改進。

但還有更多！維納特隨後又在《駭客新聞》上分享了這個新網站，引起了柯蒂斯的憤怒（現在又收回了）回應：

"This is almost unbelievable. No matter what you think about me or my product decisi***, it is flatly wrong to ripoff work. It's shameful, even. Please take this site down and delete the Github repository. The work isn't yours. Just wait until Svbtle is finished and open to the public. The reason it's closed is really simple: it's not ready yet."

維納特白手起家地寫了Obtvse，因此沒有竊取任何程式碼，但這個網站是對柯蒂斯如此明目張膽的攻擊，以至於明顯的情緒反應是可以理解的。公平地說，這不是Svbtle公關的開始方式，然而，柯蒂斯很快編輯了他的評論如下：

"As a designer, I find it somewhat perplexing that people here demand that code be directly copied for something like this be wrong. Design is more abstract than code, yes, but it's just as fundamental a part of the resulting product.

Copying design, especially when the original source is so obvious, has damaging effects that are hard to quantify. Poor clones can directly damage the creation of a strong original brand and can preempt future creative product positioning. Because it is not user facing, identically copied code--when the design has been changed--has no such effects. Why do so many people believe that only copying code should be c***idered wrong when design has the potential to be more damaging? To me, they are both equally wrong.

Great artists steal. Please steal my ideas. Take them, manipulate them, and build them into something that is your own. I wouldn't have publicized my new platform if I didn't expect the ideas to be used. Just please don't copy my implementation or designs. I need those things to be sacred so I can craft experiences that are not diluted by external factors."

用一句被過度使用的格言來說，“沒有不好的宣傳”，總而言之，Obtvse可能是發生在Svbtle身上最好的事情。
