Rip.so builds digital graveyard for dead apps

Rip.so is a playful memorial site for dead or fading internet things, from old messengers and music services to hardware and web relics. The homepage calls itself a digital graveyard and pairs category sections and epitaph-style blurbs with nostalgia and dark humor.

// ANALYSIS

This works because it commits to the bit: it is less a utility and more an internet museum with a strong voice.

–The strongest value here is curation and tone, not functionality.
–The site taps into nostalgia for products people remember emotionally, not just technically.
–The catalog format gives it room to grow into a broader reference archive if the maker keeps updating it.
–The main risk is novelty fatigue; without steady additions or a sharing loop, it could become a one-off joke.

Mosh is an open-source, model-driven application security testing harness that wraps around LLMs to automate penetration testing through discovery, planning, dockerized execution, and reporting.

Mosh (Model-driven Open Security Harness) is an open-source security testing application designed to automate the work of a security researcher. Instead of relying on raw prompts, the tool implements a multi-step workflow starting with application discovery (mapping routes and technologies), security planning (creating test hypotheses), and controlled test execution through Docker containers using engagement settings. It continuously writes structured reports and memory logs, allowing developers to safely run, review, and reproduce pen-testing results iteratively as vulnerabilities are resolved.
