What’s a product you loved… that completely failed?
You ever fall in love with a product, tell all your friends about it, and then… disappeared?
I really liked Wunderlist (task management application). It had a super clean UX, funny tone and felt like it should’ve blown up. Well, in the end it didn't survive (I think some internal political war ruined it), but at least now there like 20 new ones in the market to take their space. 😅
Have you ever had a favorite product that totally flopped or shut down? Why do you think it didn’t make it?

Smart Keys for Mac
GetAround in the US (Reason: Maybe cultural issues? Not sure. It seems they are focusing on the European market now.)
Spark AR by Meta (Reason: I think it was due to the lack of a curated store of filters for the end user, which led to people not using much all those filters created. The Studio was really good.)
I was irrationally attached to Google Reader. Still grieving.
RIP to the best product Google never understood.
