What happened to Vine, Sunrise, and Mailbox? RIP. 💐⚰
This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowWhat happened to Vine, Sunrise, and Mailbox? RIP. 💐⚰
Startups come and go. Very few last for decades. Some shut down when the founders call it quits. Others get acquired and subsequently killed by their adoptive parents. Few pivot into something great.
Product Graveyard commemorates the most memorable products that have gone away. The site is well-designed and informative, recognizing each startup’s cause of death, lifespan, notable achievements, and last known residence.
For example, Sunrise’s honorable grave reads:
👶 Born February 2013 and it died in August 2016
☠ Got killed by its adoptive parent who merge it into Outlook
🔮 Known for great UI, simple to use, and 3rd party services
🏠 Last know residence: OS X, Windows, iOS, Android, and Web
Product Graveyard has hundreds of products you can honor and learn from. If any are missing, submit a short 'autopsy' for the team to add, and share a eulogy (a fun story) in the PH comments and company page.

Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
