Hi, I’m Grey the creator of Product Graveyard, a fun way to keep track of and commemorate our favorite products that are with us no more. I worked on this as a side project during my summer internship at Siftery. Hope you enjoy and please join in by contributing a funny story or eulogy for one of the featured products! If you want to help us find new products to feature, please fill out an “Autopsy” report here: https://siftery-track.typeform.c.... Edit: Thanks for the support and feedback everyone! As suggested by the community, I added four more products today. Keep submitting autopsy reports and I'll pick out the most requested products to feature next on Product Graveyard.

@ndduong Love the idea and design, but it feels too 'happy' for the topic - perhaps something more sombre would suit it better? ✝

@lmenus I wanted to make Product Graveyard an inspiring place where we can honor great products and be thankful that they were once in our lives. Hence, the theme has a happier tone to it :)

@lmenus Aww, but what if we don't want to be sad 😢 There are situations and cultures where commemorating the dead can be a more jovial affair! I grew up on Día de Muertos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da... And the calaveritas (fun epitaphs written about the dead - or living) that are a part of the modern-day celebration: http://www.calaveras-literarias.... https://calaverasliterarias.com.mx/

@ndduong @lmenus The site made me feel nostalgic remembering the good times. A happy kind of sad. If it were to be given a more sombre feel.. it'll make it very heartbreaking.

Daily Insight

a question- is it one time project? or you are going to update db of dead companies? Time to time I see in PH similar projects, ironically most of them die after the launch.

@dainiskanopa We are hopeful that we will never get a chance to list Product Graveyard on Product Graveyard.

This is great. Very light and amusing tone for a site that brings back nostalgia and evokes sadness that some of our favorite products are no longer with us. The "featured alternatives" could be very powerful, especially when more products are sunsetted, decommissioned, killed off, etc and folks are looking where else they can go. Also, is it weird that this is the first thing I thought of? http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/...

Merida for Remote Workers

This is awesome! Great idea, great execution, lovely design. Equally useful for tech nostalgia and research. I think those 'In Memoriam' pics on the left of each listing should be shareable on social.

@leandrobthomas Thanks for the feedback! I just pushed new changes to the site and now those "In Memoriam" pictures will show up on your tweets and Facebook posts.

@ndduong 12 minutes from request to update. Not bad!

Product Hunt

Fun to look for nostalgia purposes.

Pros:

Shows good information about products.

Cons:

Doesn't include screenshots of the products. Doesn't have many filtering/search options

Rocket Note

I think this really is a great idea. Too often I find myself thinking, "Where did ____ go? That was the coolest product ever!" I try to show it to a friend or colleague, and it just disappeared. This is the first place I'll look now!

Have you thought about connecting others with the previous founders to perhaps resurrect or sell the code base of the dead product?
