"Is This Tech Dead?" A snarky autopsy engine for your dead frameworks
Hi HN, I built this irony and data driven Regret-as-a-service tool to almost scientifically declare tech deaths. F.

- gjsman-1000 2y agoIonic, Supabase, and strapi by only the second page? This cannot be taken seriously.
- jobehi 2y agoYes.
- anoncow 2y agoSearch doesn't work
- jobehi 2y agoI used a dead tech to build the search. So I got what I deserve. Totally worth it
- JSR_FDED 2y agoLove 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.
- jobehi 2y agothe algorithm is still in its embryonic phase, not enough data and budget. May evolve soon... or die
- bikedspiritlake 2y agoThe 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.
- gorjusborg 2y agoI'd say Deno never got to be quite alive. Node is the big player and Bun is the promising upstart from where I sit.
- DetroitThrow 2y agoDeno, Rust, famously dead software projects.
- jobehi 2y agoAlmost. Like all techs are
- DetroitThrow 2y agoI'd say you'd have to be brain dead to say either are "almost dead". Sorry, you offered a poorly made peanut gallery to a poorly made peanut gallery, I couldn't resist.
- jobehi 2y agoIt’s a Frankenstein made with duct tape and dead techs. The algo will evolve. It just needs more data
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- denkmoon 2y agohilarious. you can mash f to pay respects too and it seems to count most of them.
- caffinatedkitti 2y agoReact(js) seems to be holding the fort quite well, considering we are so quick to move on to the next big thing.
- jobehi 2y agoFor now.
- jppope 2y agoLooks like a cool project. That said, it doesn't pass the sniff test on the methodology- Something like 30% of the score is just related to bitching and instability. Imagine a crazy world where maintainers/owners do a good job on serving their community and building good tech... clearly a death sentence
- jobehi 2y agoThat’s right. But isn’t it how techs are declared dead ?
- kevinmershon 2y agono hits for clojure. I'm incredulous
- ceautery 2y agoYou're calling frameworks with two day old commits critical and terminal? As Mark Twain would say, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
- jobehi 2y agoAs my tool is.
- dawatchusay 2y agoI put in the web framework that our company’s ecosystem is based on and it said “no results.” At first I thought this was part of the joke, but no, our tech is just beyond dead.
- moqizhengz 2y agoWould you mind to name it so we can show some respect
- GolDDranks 2y agoTried Knockout.js, Mithril.js, Marko.js, Rocket (Rust), none to be found. Also, the site seems to have abysmal performance.
- jobehi 2y agoAs it should be
- photonthug 2y agoPretty bad. Stack-overflow and hackernews metrics don't work, python is considered 100% dead and 70% dead respectively. By trying to search in the page with control-f.. I voted for death? Reddit and youtube are not remotely reasonable proxies for project health. Naturally no one likes wordpress, but it runs like 40% of sites on the internet, and it's also 40% "dead", which seems wrong. Why is there a newsletter? My advice is to throw away all the social media garbage, including hackernews sentiments, focus on github metrics for commits, issues, and forks.. see if you can add anything new there
- neuroelectron 2y agoI'm sorry you had to learn about python this way.
- jobehi 2y agoIt will definitely evolve. Feedbacks like this are important to improve the algorithm. You can see it now as a prototype. The project is 2 days old
- mrcsharp 2y agoASP.NET is endangered?
- fHr 2y agowhere OSGI?
- jobehi 2y agoWe did find it, but it had split into 342 bundles
- whalesalad 2y agowhere riak, coffeescript, ember js
- jobehi 2y agoProbably dead
- mifydev 2y agoHN has declared supabase dead, how sad
- jobehi 2y agoEven if the project was built with it.
- atrettel 2y agoAccording to this, Fortran may still be alive. Having written a lot of Fortran over the last decade, I knew Fortran is alive and well, but I would have though that this site would pick up the "Fortran is dead" meme from other places. Good on OP to recognize Fortran maybe isn't dead.
- sergix 2y agoGreat tongue-in-cheek project. Ignore those who don't get the joke, and keep building fun stuff like this.
- meander_water 2y agoThis is already a solved problem. Snyk advisor provides a decent package health score - https://snyk.io/advisor/npm-package/react https://snyk.io/advisor/npm-package/react
- jobehi 2y agoAccording to my algo, Snyk is also dead.
- charcircuit 2y agoThe hacker news signal seems broken. Most score nothing.
- jobehi 2y agoIs it maybe dead too ?
- neom 2y agoIs angular actually more dead than ember? I know Tom is trying to keep it alive over there at linkedin, but is it still used anywhere else??
- fud101 2y agoIt's good but that search bar is frustrating af. just debounce if you have to have that completing feature?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- moqizhengz 2y agoidk, but this website itself seems pretty dead to me. It feels pretty laggy. It cause my CPU to reach ~60% when simply hovering on items. It is built with Nextjs 15. It shows 1 result found and an empty list when I search Nextjs.
- alganet 2y agoIn my books, cordova is not dead. The name might have changed but its essence live in all other web-native hybrids out there (it's more alive than ever).
- otterpro 2y agoI don't know what's going on with this website, but it just slowed my browser to a complete halt, and I've never seen any website that did this. I had to restart Chrome but still have some serious performance issue.
- jobehi 2y agothe website hasn't been tested on windows vista, sorry
- dijksterhuis 2y agoanyone else running a while loop with a curl command to inflate the respects paid numbers for their favourite tech? or am i the only weirdo?
- K0IN 2y agomy phone drops from 120 to 60 Hz when my battery gets low, for a brief moment I thought that my phone is getting empty just to return to Hackernews and noticing how bad the performance of this site is, for an webapp that just shows names and some numbers
- jobehi 2y agoyou're right, support for windows phone will be added soon
- helij 2y agoWhere's Bottle.py? Otherwise cool tool.
- jobehi 2y agoOk so found out that HN flagged this post yesterday after it made it to top “show” that’s good news because my supabase bill was going up.
