Side Project Cemetery

Creator EconomyConsumer App

A portfolio platform where developers connect their GitHub, mark abandoned repositories with a ‘death date,’ and receive an AI‑generated eulogy that explains the tech stack, ambition, and lessons learned — all with a touch of humor. It turns a list of unfinished experiments into a narrative asset for job interviews and conference talks.

Target Audience

Freelance developers and indie makers who have accumulated 10+ dead side projects and want to showcase their breadth of exploration and learning, rather than hiding their failure, to stand out to employers who value initiative.

Why Now

Dev.to’s ‘I Built a Graveyard for My Dead Side Projects - With AI Eulogies & a 3D Cemetery’ went viral in the developer community this week, while GitHub trending ‘build‑your‑own‑x’ reflects a culture of celebrating the learning process over finished products. No existing tool turns project abandonment into a narrative for personal branding.
