Cause of death: the autopsy

remade.wiki, AlternativeTo and opensourcealternative.to already do this for free, so there is no payer. Claims about trademarks and the quality of fast-moving AI-made clones would add risk. The radar scored it 15 of 25.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
