Product Strategy + Build
Embers
Curated marketplace for abandoned software projects that still have heat left in them — listings, founder postmortems, review workflows, and lead capture.

Overview
Embers is a marketplace experiment for software projects that were built but never fully commercialized. Founders can list a stalled product with the honest reason it stopped, what kind of person could revive it, and what assets are available. Buyers and operators can browse by stage, category, missing skill, and founder context, then reach out directly.
Problem
Useful products often die for non-technical reasons: no distribution, no time, weak positioning, or a founder who moved on. The opportunity is hidden because the code, context, and lessons are scattered across private repos and half-finished notes.
Outcome
A complete marketplace prototype with the core public loop, review workflow, and creator-facing submission path in place.
