Shaxpir is Shutting Down

I have some hard news to share today: after eleven years, Shaxpir will be shutting down. The service will remain fully operational through April 30, 2026, giving everyone time to export their work. After that date, you will no longer be able to log in to your account. I know this affects real people doing real creative work, and I want to be honest with you about what's happening and why.
