Unshipped

What it does

Every "dead end" taught someone something. Unshipped is a curated archive of software projects that were technically solid but never shipped due to market timing, complexity, or burnout. Instead of letting these architectures vanish, we've archived them for you to study. Browse projects by failure reason, explore Mermaid.js system diagrams, and dive into high-performance code that worked even if the product didn't. Turn dead ends into learning resources.

A digital archive of abandoned software projects. Browse codebases, architectures, and experiments that were technically solid but never shipped. Turn dead ends into lessons.

  A Spotify-like yearly recap for devs using GitHub contributions2023 · github.com · ▲36

  Recently, I came across Spotify's wrapped showing cool insights from my the music I heard in 2023. Last week we casually started discussing about our cards (the Spotify highlights) in our office and then we wondered if we can look at our development journey the same way in 2023. That was it, everyone put their hacker hats on, started building Unwrapped to reflect on the dev journey just using your Github contributions! Hope you also find joy in reflecting back at your journey in 2023! The best part - we made it open source . Can't wait to hear your feedback! Contributions are welcome :)

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
