Your side projects, as a city.

Shipped projects light up. Unfinished ones stay under construction. Dead ones get an epitaph. One link to show everything you've built.

Every project gets a building. Even the dead ones.

Your portfolio shows what shipped. Your city also shows what you tried, what you're on, and what you learned from.

The more hours you put in, the taller it gets. Windows light up for good.

Construction site

A crane, scaffolding and dashed floors: what's in progress is visible, not hidden.

Ruin, with an epitaph

Pick why it died, or write your own. Honest, a bit funny, very shareable.

  • “Scope too big”
  • “Day job happened”
  • “Someone shipped it first”
  • “Lost the spark”
  • “Rewrote it three times”
  • + write your own

Questions

Is it free?
Yes. Every feature is free. Pro is a single payment that only unlocks extra decors.
Do you read my code?
No. We only read public repository details: name, description, homepage, dates, archive status and commit count.
How do you guess what shipped?
A homepage means shipped. An archived repo is proposed as RIP; a year without a push only asks if it's still alive. Everything else is under construction. You decide every status.
What about private or non-GitHub projects?
Add them by hand. Private repositories are never read.
Can I hide a project?
Yes. Hidden projects never appear on your page or your card.
