AppSumo Graveyard – Tracking LTD Products That Didn't Survive

The repo organises clear, bite-sized case studies (Dead Products, Pivoted, Survival Stats) and links to a live tracking database (LTD Atlas) so you can go from anecdote to dataset quickly. It's basically KilledByGoogle for AppSumo — the README calls out red flags, documents causes of death and even encourages issue-based submissions, which makes it immediately useful for anyone evaluating LTD picks. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, though; automation, an RSS feed or stronger provenance for entries would push this from handy to indispensable.
