Never heard of it.

Maybe the reason it failed

"It was very immature – buggy and crashy and slow. But primarily it was new and people didn't quite know what to do with it."

I couldn't have put it better myself.

It was far too complicated for the general public to pick up and run with. Engineering geek toy.

I think it was also trying to solve a problem that didn't exist. php colab solutions have existed for years. Companies even create bespoke systems for their own needs, real cheap. All often served off their already existing servers, no need for third party software.
