## What it is
Killed by Google is a website and open dataset tracking Google apps, services, and hardware that have been discontinued, presented as a searchable graveyard. It is built with React/TypeScript and stores its data in a community-maintained graveyard.json file.

## Use cases
- check if a Google product has been discontinued
- find launch and shutdown dates of Google services
- browse a list of killed Google apps and hardware
- get JSON data about discontinued Google products
- research Google's history of shutting down services

## When to choose
- you want a community-maintained, open dataset of discontinued Google products
- you need a browsable searchable site of Google product shutdowns
- you want to contribute product obituaries via a simple CLI and PR workflow

## When to avoid
- you need shutdown tracking for companies other than Google
- you need an official or guaranteed-complete source of Google product lifecycles
- you need programmatic APIs beyond the static JSON dataset

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, json, static-site-generator, cli
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: google, graveyard, open-data, react, typescript, product-history, discontinued-services, web-server, nodejs
