A LITTLE READING FROM THE CEMETERY
Grave.bot guides — a few good last words
Practical, affectionate writing guides for a retired bot, an abandoned SaaS experiment or an indie side project.
Last updated
How do you write a good epitaph for a SaaS or side project?
Choose one thing the project tried to do and one detail that makes its ending recognizably yours. The epitaph guide turns that into a short, kind farewell for a retired bot or agent crew, with examples that fit a small headstone.
What are ten causes of death for indie apps?
An API sunset, an empty calendar and a very expensive free tier can all become a good last line. These ten illustrative writing prompts help you describe why a project ended without pretending there is one universal reason.
What should happen before the farewell?
Handle the actual shutdown first: tell affected people, decide what to retain and preserve your own records. A bot memorial is a small public tribute that can complement those steps.
