🪦 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:

"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 bury a project for free and get a 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 is free. The only paid extra is tombstone hosting: for $4.99 a month or $39.90 a year, the dead domain itself shows its tombstone and contact form. Dead.Domains takes no commission, 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 tombstone page with screenshots of your old landing page, the project's years, its cause of death, your epitaph and a haunted obituary. The grave is listed in the public graveyard. With tombstone hosting, you point the domain at it with a CNAME record so anyone who types it in lands 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 cancel tombstone hosting or get a refund?
Burying is free, so there is nothing to refund there. Tombstone hosting can be cancelled anytime from the manage page and stays on until the end of the paid period. If you forget to cancel a yearly plan after the free trial, email [email protected] with your grave's domain and we sort it out.
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].
