The Graveyard File: Builders That Died or Froze, and What Their Users Lost

Why we keep a graveyard

Because the industry does not. Every dead or frozen platform gets quietly memory-holed by its acquirer, and the users who lost their sites become someone else's churn statistic. Our graveyard page keeps the full list, from outright shutdowns to zombies still charging cards with development frozen.

The two ways builders die

Fast: a shutdown notice and a migration deadline measured in weeks. Users scramble; sites that cannot export get rebuilt by hand or die with the platform.

Slow: the zombie path, and it is crueler. Development freezes, the app store listing dies, support commitments get vague, and the checkout page stays live the whole time. Weebly is the reference case, and its file is open here.

The tell, both times: hiring freezes and silence precede every death. Our sensors now watch for exactly those signals across 47 platforms, daily, which is how the next entry in this file will be reported before the shutdown notice, not after.
