This is amazing! Beautiful design and great concept. I had actually planned on building a similar product called "Museum of Failed Digital Products". It was meant to teach people about building products through failures rather successes, escaping the "survivorship bias" from only listening to success stories. Exciting to see you execute the concept so wonderfully. Hoping to contribute some stories soon. I originally had the idea after reading the article below, which references a museum that had begun as a catalog of all (physical) products ever created. Unsurprisingly, it is now the "Museum of Failed Products" because around 90% of products actually end up failing. https://www.theguardian.com/life...

Nice to see a lot of stories in very different areas. But I'm not sure, that it's a really helpful tool when you are launching a product. It was interesting reading, but if i in process of product launch, i would probably live like in a fire. and just the stories looks interesting, but you have to act and do it fast. and it's not obvious what to do just from stories. I think, you just have to explain "It's not a guide or checklist", because your naming looks so)) But that is just imho. Hope you'll have more stories 😺

I think the idea has good potential, but I would love to see more in-depth stories when I click on the cards. Most of them link to a third-party news website, which is nice, but it would be great to have a small post on the HNTL website itself. There's only so many times one can read "Couldn't raise enough capital".

Pros:

Interesting concept, beautiful website, mostly helpful stories

Cons:

Needs more in-depth stories
