"Is This Tech Dead?" A snarky autopsy engine for your dead frameworks

https://www.isthistechdead.com
48•jobehi•9mo ago
Hi HN, I built this irony and data driven Regret-as-a-service tool to almost scientifically declare tech deaths. F.

Comments

gjsman-1000•9mo ago
Ionic, Supabase, and strapi by only the second page?

This cannot be taken seriously.

jobehi•9mo ago
Yes.
anoncow•9mo ago
Search doesn't work
jobehi•9mo ago
I used a dead tech to build the search. So I got what I deserve. Totally worth it
JSR_FDED•9mo ago
Love the attitude, disagree with the content. Vue.js is “critical”? Rust is “Endangered”? Then I realized it’s not about the content - it’s a reflection on our obsession with chasing the new thing and declaring the recent thing dead.
jobehi•9mo ago
the algorithm is still in its embryonic phase, not enough data and budget. May evolve soon... or die
bikedspiritlake•9mo ago
The execution is a little iffy. Deno is nowhere close to being dead, and Elm is intentionally frozen for stability. The website also appears to be quite laggy, especially the dropdown menu for sorting.

That being said, it's a really cool idea and I'm glad how open it is. This has the potential to become an authoritative and useful source for considering software stability and support.

gorjusborg•9mo ago
I'd say Deno never got to be quite alive.

Node is the big player and Bun is the promising upstart from where I sit.

DetroitThrow•9mo ago
Deno, Rust, famously dead software projects.
jobehi•9mo ago
Almost. Like all techs are
DetroitThrow•9mo ago
I'd say you'd have to be brain dead to say either are "almost dead".

Sorry, you offered a poorly made peanut gallery to a poorly made peanut gallery, I couldn't resist.

jobehi•9mo ago
It’s a Frankenstein made with duct tape and dead techs. The algo will evolve. It just needs more data
denkmoon•9mo ago
hilarious. you can mash f to pay respects too and it seems to count most of them.
caffinatedkitti•9mo ago
React(js) seems to be holding the fort quite well, considering we are so quick to move on to the next big thing.
jobehi•9mo ago
For now.
jppope•9mo ago
Looks like a cool project. That said, it doesn't pass the sniff test on the methodology- Something like 30% of the score is just related to bitching and instability. Imagine a crazy world where maintainers/owners do a good job on serving their community and building good tech... clearly a death sentence
jobehi•9mo ago
That’s right. But isn’t it how techs are declared dead ?
jppope•9mo ago
I'd probably go with adoption & activity spent building, but given the conversation seems like there might be a "tongue in cheek" aspect to this project ;)
jobehi•9mo ago
But anyway the algo will be adjusted and improved through iterations. The project is 2 days old
kevinmershon•9mo ago
no hits for clojure. I'm incredulous
ceautery•9mo ago
You're calling frameworks with two day old commits critical and terminal? As Mark Twain would say, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
jobehi•9mo ago
As my tool is.
dawatchusay•9mo ago
I put in the web framework that our company’s ecosystem is based on and it said “no results.” At first I thought this was part of the joke, but no, our tech is just beyond dead.
moqizhengz•9mo ago
Would you mind to name it so we can show some respect
GolDDranks•9mo ago
Tried Knockout.js, Mithril.js, Marko.js, Rocket (Rust), none to be found.

Also, the site seems to have abysmal performance.

jobehi•9mo ago
As it should be
photonthug•9mo ago
Pretty bad. Stack-overflow and hackernews metrics don't work, python is considered 100% dead and 70% dead respectively. By trying to search in the page with control-f.. I voted for death? Reddit and youtube are not remotely reasonable proxies for project health. Naturally no one likes wordpress, but it runs like 40% of sites on the internet, and it's also 40% "dead", which seems wrong. Why is there a newsletter? My advice is to throw away all the social media garbage, including hackernews sentiments, focus on github metrics for commits, issues, and forks.. see if you can add anything new there
neuroelectron•9mo ago
I'm sorry you had to learn about python this way.
jobehi•9mo ago
It will definitely evolve. Feedbacks like this are important to improve the algorithm. You can see it now as a prototype. The project is 2 days old
mrcsharp•9mo ago
ASP.NET is endangered?
fHr•9mo ago
where OSGI?
jobehi•9mo ago
We did find it, but it had split into 342 bundles
whalesalad•9mo ago
where riak, coffeescript, ember js
jobehi•9mo ago
Probably dead
mifydev•9mo ago
HN has declared supabase dead, how sad
jobehi•9mo ago
Even if the project was built with it.
atrettel•9mo ago
According to this, Fortran may still be alive. Having written a lot of Fortran over the last decade, I knew Fortran is alive and well, but I would have though that this site would pick up the "Fortran is dead" meme from other places. Good on OP to recognize Fortran maybe isn't dead.
sergix•9mo ago
Great tongue-in-cheek project. Ignore those who don't get the joke, and keep building fun stuff like this.
meander_water•9mo ago
This is already a solved problem.

Snyk advisor provides a decent package health score - https://snyk.io/advisor/npm-package/react

jobehi•9mo ago
According to my algo, Snyk is also dead.
charcircuit•9mo ago
The hacker news signal seems broken. Most score nothing.
jobehi•9mo ago
Is it maybe dead too ?
neom•9mo ago
Is angular actually more dead than ember? I know Tom is trying to keep it alive over there at linkedin, but is it still used anywhere else??
jobehi•9mo ago
People are still confused and call it angular.js
neom•9mo ago
Those insufferable tech elites, always messing up the names.
fud101•9mo ago
It's good but that search bar is frustrating af. just debounce if you have to have that completing feature?
moqizhengz•9mo ago
idk, but this website itself seems pretty dead to me.

It feels pretty laggy. It cause my CPU to reach ~60% when simply hovering on items. It is built with Nextjs 15. It shows 1 result found and an empty list when I search Nextjs.

alganet•9mo ago
In my books, cordova is not dead. The name might have changed but its essence live in all other web-native hybrids out there (it's more alive than ever).
otterpro•9mo ago
I don't know what's going on with this website, but it just slowed my browser to a complete halt, and I've never seen any website that did this. I had to restart Chrome but still have some serious performance issue.
jobehi•9mo ago
the website hasn't been tested on windows vista, sorry
dijksterhuis•9mo ago
anyone else running a while loop with a curl command to inflate the respects paid numbers for their favourite tech? or am i the only weirdo?
K0IN•9mo ago
my phone drops from 120 to 60 Hz when my battery gets low, for a brief moment I thought that my phone is getting empty just to return to Hackernews and noticing how bad the performance of this site is, for an webapp that just shows names and some numbers
jobehi•9mo ago
you're right, support for windows phone will be added soon
helij•9mo ago
Where's Bottle.py?

Otherwise cool tool.

jobehi•9mo ago
Ok so found out that HN flagged this post yesterday after it made it to top “show” that’s good news because my supabase bill was going up.
