What happened to Vine, Sunrise, and Mailbox? RIP. 💐⚰
This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorWhat 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.

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
