What 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.

Framer 3.0 put a design agent on the canvas
Framer 3.0 is the design agent for every step from idea to launch, and it works alongside you, not instead of you. Describe the site, watch the agent build real pages on the canvas, then edit anything it made: breakpoints, components, code, CMS, SEO. Branching gives it a safe place to take the big swings so you merge only what you want. Already living in Claude, Cursor or Codex? Point them at Framer and ship from wherever you work. Not just vibes, a full platform.
