RIP MY BUILD is a side project cemetery for honest public postmortems. Publish a permanent obituary with the original link, cause of death, lesson learned, and whatever you’re building next. Every memorial gets a shareable page, visitor roses, permanent plot adornments, and a weekly honors leaderboard. It turns the useful truth at the end of a project into closure, a launch asset, and a path to the founder’s next chapter. $12 per obituary; no account needed to browse.

Anyone feel like sharing some of your lessons with other early stage builders?
Mine is not buried yet, but today taught me that shipping and being seen are two different problems. We went live today too. Can an obituary be edited if the thing comes back?
This is outstanding. Make it open source so some propeller head, like me, can make an MCP that lets the bots get prompted with any zombies/dead ones out there. I hope this takes off.
@rick_segal1 Haha, I'll add that to my list!
I've decided to make obituaries FREE, permanently, to encourage more people to share!
This is a great idea. Hope some of these projects laid to rest might find a second life or perhaps being here will let founders close the loop and move on.
Heheh have a lot of these projects man! Love the idea and I will try it out of course. Wish you all the best here!
@german_merlo1 Appreciate it! Let me know of you need any help!
three dead ones here. agency, then voice ai, then a procurement tool, in that order, before the thing that actually worked. the one that still bothers me is that our first ever paying customer signed, paid, and then never logged in. not once. at the time i read that as a win because the money had arrived. it took me embarrassingly long to notice that a signature and a payment can both happen without anyone actually wanting the thing. so if i wrote the obituary it would say we kept going because the invoice cleared, and nobody checked whether anyone had opened it.
