At the moment you can preview and interact with products which are hosted on Closed Club or that have been integrated with the Internet Archive. The source code is available only for a couple of products at this stage but we should have more coming up.

Its been around 4 week since we first launched Closed Club. This new product adds an interactive layer to the existing information related to why a specific startup product was closed down. The long term goal is to create an educational resource that can be used for both research and brainstorming new ideas. We are hoping to make it easy to find information related to tried and tested startup products. Learning from previous attempts at creating a startup could be pretty helpful in terms of brainstorming new ideas and making startup decisions. Closed Club Preview lets you preview, interact and potentially reuse code from closed down startup products - which also means that code and time inputted by the founders is not wasted

This is pretty clever, and adds to the sum total of knowledge. Awesome.
