Interesting idea. However, I'm not a fan of the overwhelmingly negative vibe this gives off. By this I mean there seems to be no effort made about any kind of constructive criticism or help, e.g. a way to offer feedback on the listed startups so that they could actually use it as a platform to learn from.
So far it seems to me that it's more of a "Haha, you didn't make it" page creator when it could actually become a force for good.
- akerro 10y agoI don't like the negative vibes I get from http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ instead giving tip how to stay up it's purposed to say if website is down. It's normal that companies die. What advice would you give them?
- xorlord 10y agoDon't die.
- sarreph 10y ago'is it down for everybody or just me?' is a neutrally-framed status reporter. The 'vibes' I speak of are the way in which 'Dead Yet?' is, fundamentally by its name, presumptuous (in my opinion). Therefore I don't think you have a great analogy there but I do see your point that my 'feedback' point was perhaps a bit too general — it would just be nice to be able to review a startup (a small disqus comment thread on the page, for example) rather than just pointing the finger at its deadness. I don't personally have generic advice off-the-bat for company-wide failure avoidance I'm afraid.

- shopkins 10y agoIt doesn't come from a place of negativity. As I mentioned elsewhere, it can show how resilient a product is as well. A community for startup support is probably outside the scope of this site (and done much better elsewhere), but what would you like to see added?
