I've toyed in the past with the idea of creating a place for people to capture their now defunct startups based on my own experience with how quickly all the digital traces disappear. Sort of like Crunchbase but focused only on dead projects. Any one thinks that there's a general need for this?

Graveyard listing of some failed startups. https://www.failory.com/cemetery.

Years ago I was working on a digital graveyard called “rest in bits” (RIP = rest in peace = rest in piece = pieces are bits = bits are what makes up code) but it never came to fruition. Anyway, if you need a name, I recommend rest in bits.

There is a delicious irony to restinbits offering the name of their defunct project, rest in bits, to someone making a site tracking defunct projects. Rest in bits could then be in the inaugural batch on rest in bits.

Back in the days following the OG dotcom bust there was a website called Fucked Company that detailed all the tech startups that either had failed or were in the process of failing. Sadly long since defunct but the front page at least is still available via the wayback machine:

I would use it, but given my eclectic nature would need an backup button.
