Like Exploding Topics for apps that just died: detect shutdowns, score orphaned-user demand, exhume archived pages into a spec + importer
When an app shuts down, its users are left without a replacement, but nobody tracks that unmet demand. Indie hackers who guess at new ideas miss a market that already exists.
Necropolis spots shutdowns, scores how much demand was left behind, and turns archived pages into a build spec and importer.
- 1Necropolis flags apps that have recently shut down.
- 2It scores how many orphaned users still need the product.
- 3You get a spec and importer to rebuild it.
