STEP 01
Post what you stopped building
Name it, say what it does, list the stack, and be honest about how far it got. No polish required. A half-finished thing described plainly is worth more than a perfect pitch.

HOW IT WORKS
One developer’s dead project is another developer’s head start.
Maybe you built 70 percent of something and lost interest. Maybe the frontend is beautiful and the backend never happened. Maybe you solved a hard problem and moved on. Instead of that code dying in a forgotten repo, somebody else can pick it up.
STEP 02
Someone finds it and reaches out
Browse by category or stack. When a project fits what somebody wants to build, they get in touch with you directly. Your email stays private until you answer.
STEP 03
Fork it, take it over, or team up
Hand it off, sell it, collaborate, or watch someone turn it into something you never imagined. However it goes, it beats the code sitting there.
ABOUT
Built for the projects that almost were.
Every developer has them. The repo you were excited about for three weekends. The app that got to a working demo and then a better idea came along. The tool that solved your problem so well you forgot anyone else had it too.
Dead Project Exchange exists so those don’t just sit there. Post it, and it becomes a starting point for someone who has the time and the appetite you ran out of. Nothing is listed until it has been read, and your contact address is never shown on the site.
Dead Project Exchange is a Lee Wyatt Corp product. Questions or ideas go to brandon@leewyattcorp.com.
