isthistechdead.com is now fully open source

💀 Is This Tech Dead? - Issue #1

This isn’t just a milestone. This is your fault.
You subscribed. You believed in this weird little tech graveyard. And now… it’s open source. The whole thing.


🧠 The ENTIRE Project Is Now Open Source

Not just the frontend.
Not just the sarcasm.
The “backend”. The Deaditude engine™. The whole necromantic circus.

🔓 GitHub repo → https://github.com/jobehi/isThisTechDead

You can now:

  • See exactly how we decide which tech is dead

  • File PRs to make us meaner or smarter

  • Fork it, run it, summon it at midnight under a blood moon


🧙 You’re Among the First 100

And we mean it. You're one of the original 100 people who signed up before this thing got out of hand. You're not a “user.” You're a founding witness.

So we wanted you to be the first to know:

  • The whole codebase is open

  • You now have bragging rights if this thing ever goes full cult


🧪 What’s Next?

  • User badges for people who still use tech from 2007 (and aren’t ashamed)

  • Blog posts

  • Definitely more ridiculous feature drops, and you’ll always hear about them first.

  • Your contributions !

  • Maybe some merch to get rich 💰


❤️ Thank You

You are the reason this project exists.
Whether you found us through Reddit, LinkedIn, or a Bluesky post about Flash…
we see you.
We appreciate you.
We worry about your tech stack, but still, thank you.

With love from the digital graveyard,
- The Is This Tech Dead? Team -
(still just one overcaffeinated person: [@jobehi]https://github.com/jobehi))
