On Discontinuing Projects
A few projects on this site are marked discontinued. That label doesn't mean failure it means the idea outgrew the execution and got rebuilt into something better.
On Discontinuing Projects
A handful of projects on this site carry the discontinued label. Tipsy, the ARG, Smart Glasses, Cadence Collapse, Dissonance. They're not hidden they're listed the same as everything else.
The reason is simple: discontinuing a project isn't a failure state. It's a conclusion. Sometimes the component limitations hit a ceiling too early. Sometimes the foundation was improvised and the idea grew past what it could support. Sometimes you just learn what the project was actually trying to be, and it turns out that thing needs a different vehicle.
Cadence Collapse became Dissonance. Dissonance became Backstage Days. The ideas didn't disappear they moved.
Keeping the discontinued projects visible means the history is readable. You can see where things came from and why the current versions look the way they do. That context matters more than a clean portfolio.
