"Is This Tech Dead?" A snarky autopsy engine for your dead frameworks

Love the attitude, disagree with the content. Vue.js is “critical”? Rust is “Endangered”? Then I realized it’s not about the content - it’s a reflection on our obsession with chasing the new thing and declaring the recent thing dead.

The execution is a little iffy. Deno is nowhere close to being dead, and Elm is intentionally frozen for stability. The website also appears to be quite laggy, especially the dropdown menu for sorting.

That being said, it's a really cool idea and I'm glad how open it is. This has the potential to become an authoritative and useful source for considering software stability and support.

Search doesn't work

I used a dead tech to build the search. So I got what I deserve. Totally worth it

Deno, Rust, famously dead software projects.
