ProSide Project Obituary
A service that connects to GitHub, analyzes abandoned repositories, and generates an interactive 'project obituary' with code stats, time invested, and inferred failure reasons from commit messages and dependencies. It then surfaces patterns across projects to help developers avoid the same traps.
Target Audience
