QuietDeath Watch

Watch abandoned side projects before databases pause or domains expire

Problem
AI makes shipping easy, but many apps die not from bugs but from things outside the code: paused databases, expired domains, exhausted free quotas, retired APIs, forgotten paid plans. Small teams can't watch all of it, so projects quietly die.
Solution
Add a project URL plus a few billing/config snapshots and run scheduled non-invasive checks: domain expiry, TLS certs, endpoint availability, cloud resource pause status and remaining quotas, alerting via email or Telegram with a fix checklist.
Users
Indie developers running several side projects and small agencies doing client work
MVP
Add project URL and domain; scheduled checks for domain expiry, certs and endpoint reachability; optional free-tier quota end dates; email alerts on anomalies; one-page health overview of all projects
Revenue
Monthly subscription tiered by number of projects; optional one-time domain/cert expiry reminder pack
Why now
Vibe coding multiplies the number of projects while maintenance appetite stays flat; quiet project death is common and unserved, and it needs no big platform
