🪦 Exhibit A: The Fallen
fetch-ai.dev
(2022–2023)
"Too early. Too ambitious. RIP to my motivation."
This is your future if you don't sell it now.
🪦 Exhibit B: The Optimist's Curse
standupify.com
(2020–2021)
"Daily async standups. For teams that never existed."
Built in a weekend. Launched on Hacker News.
Zero stars. Zero upvotes. One proud tweet.
This wasn't just a project. It was a movement...
Until Monday morning hit and the day job called.
🪦 Exhibit C: The AI Delusion
slideGPT.io
(2023)
"Turn your ideas into decks. Just add VC buzzwords."
Whipped it up during GPT-4 hype week.
It worked… kinda.
Then OpenAI launched it natively.
Total cost: $8 on domains.
Total return: One like. From your alt.
🪦 Exhibit D: The Weekend That Went Too Far
habitforge.app
(2022–2022)
"Build better habits. Break your soul."
Woke up at 6am to code a habit tracker.
Didn't go outside for 3 days.
Forgot to brush teeth. Irony level: maximum.
Got featured in one indie newsletter.
Never shipped v2. Still paying for the DB.
🚨 Don't Let Your Project Join This Graveyard
These founders waited too long. Their projects died with zero value.
Yours still has a pulse.
🧟 Why Resurrect the Dead?
You're not browsing a junkyard - you're raiding a treasure chest.
Every domain comes with context, code, and possibly a curse.
⚰️ Why Bury Yours?
Still clinging to that AI weather bot from 2021?
Let it go, friend. Let the ghost out of the coffin.
💬 Real Epitaphs, Real Founders:

(2021–2022)
"I built Stripe again. No one cared."
You can't resurrect these. But yours? Still warm.

Frequently asked questions
What is Dead.Domains?
Dead.Domains is a public graveyard and listing site for abandoned side projects and domains. Founders pay a one-time $1 to bury a project and get a permanent tombstone page with a screenshot, cause of death and a contact form. Buyers browse the graveyard and message owners directly.
How much does it cost to bury a project?
Burying a project costs a one-time $1, paid by card through Stripe. There is no subscription and no renewal fee. Dead.Domains is not a broker or escrow agent and is not a party to any deal you make with a buyer.
What do I get when I bury a project?
You get a permanent tombstone page with screenshots of your old landing page, the project's years, its cause of death and your epitaph. The grave is listed in the public graveyard, and you can point your domain at it with a CNAME record so old visitors land on the tombstone.
How do buyers contact the owner of a dead project?
Every grave has a contact form. Messages go straight to the email of whoever buried the project, and the two sides negotiate directly. Any domain transfer, sale or licensing deal happens between buyer and owner, at their own risk.
How is domain ownership verified?
Owners can add a TXT record that Dead.Domains generates to their domain's DNS. Once the record is found, the grave shows a verified checkmark so buyers know the listing was made by whoever controls the domain. Verification is optional.
Can I get a refund?
Because a grave is published the moment payment is confirmed, fees are not refunded after publication, except for duplicate or erroneous charges, a grave that was never published because of a fault on our side, or where the law requires it. Email [email protected] with your grave's domain to ask.
Who runs Dead.Domains?
Dead.Domains is operated by Questly Kft., a company in Budapest, Hungary, and built by its founder Peter Nagy, an indie developer. You can reach the founder at [email protected].
