Cause of death: the autopsy

The refugees were caught by free and open-source tools (Bruno, Hoppscotch) and by Apidog, which wrote several 'switch from Postman' pages. Marked KILL in one lens and swarmed in another.

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.
