AI Analysis

●●SolidCozyNiche Gem

Better than Wikipedia for tracking Apple's graveyard, with actual lifespan stats.

Strengths

•Categorization by hardware/software/service/feature makes browsing intuitive.
•Lifespan calculations (e.g., '20 years', '1 year') add immediate historical context.
•Clean, minimal design focuses entirely on the content without distractions.

Weaknesses

•Static list format lacks deeper analysis or reasons behind discontinuations.
•No community contribution model means updates depend solely on the maintainer.

AppSumo Graveyard – Tracking LTD Products That Didn't Survive

The repo organises clear, bite-sized case studies (Dead Products, Pivoted, Survival Stats) and links to a live tracking database (LTD Atlas) so you can go from anecdote to dataset quickly. It's basically KilledByGoogle for AppSumo — the README calls out red flags, documents causes of death and even encourages issue-based submissions, which makes it immediately useful for anyone evaluating LTD picks. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, though; automation, an RSS feed or stronger provenance for entries would push this from handy to indispensable.
