What’s a product that got sunset/became irrelevant, that you loved? 📱

Was curious what are the best apps/products that are no more around, but were great at one point. I feel like there might be some insights here if everybody chimes in, maybe something we need to bring back alive?

The content. The topics. The titles. The multiplayer games. Just perfect. Heck I'd even watch the ads they later introduced

I think it was just the uniqueness at the time of launch. The emojis etc. Also there weren't too many apps like that at the time

To start, the favourite for me was Inbox by Google. The best email client I’ve had on a phone - was just so easy to use with such a neat UIUX. That was the last time I was able to maintain my inbox completely clean.

It was like Leetcode. You can solve DSA questions with your friends against a timer like a contest. The UI and UX was too good for a free website. I think they failed to monetize it and that's why it shut down. You can search for binarysearch.io and might find something on Reddit etc.

Yes they are now in mobile gaming. But their web gaming was something that I played during school computer classes. Just loved the sneak outs.

There was a ghost mode kind of multiplayer setting game that I used to play in some call of duty. I spent countless hours on it at the time. I never found it back. It was like every round one of the players was picked as the ghost or phantom who could go through walls and only use knife. The ghost was obviously invisible but could be made visible with sensor bombs or just something spilled over them. Other players had to hunt down the ghost.

Can you tell me how can I play COD now? I tried searching online but can't seem to find a reliable place to download the game. I am just a beginner in gaming but I like COD.

What happened to threads app?

Is anyone using it still and is there any better value addition? I had installed initially but left it soon as didn't find anything new. This gives me an impression that building successful product is always a tricky game and you can' t be sure even if you have all the resources.

Are early stage B2C products dead?

Except a couple of credit on UPI/wealth tech companies, I haven't seen any cool digital B2C companies pop up in recent times. Are new B2C ideas too risky for investors? What cool early stage consumer products (other than GV) do you use?

Attach screenshot old screenshots of popular apps.!

It will be interesting thread to see screenshots of popular apps from their older days. Just to see how far we have come as startup ecosystem. If you have any old screenshot do share in this thread.

Is Threads dead? ☠️

I don’t know anyone who even recalls what it is or was. Possibly the fastest rise and decline for anything in the tech era. Do you use Threads ?
