Очень неравнодушные граждане ведут учёт всех продуктов, убитых гуглом. Можно походить по списочку, почитать историю, кто есть кто.
И если на условный Google+ плевать от слова `совсем`, то вот Reader, Podcasts, Panoramio, Chromecast не прощу никогда.
As I move my email from gmail to fastmail, I wanted to take a moment to appreciate a dead project of mine: https://github.com/jepler/mailpie
mailpie was a full text e-mail indexer written in Python2 and using swish-e as the back-end. I used it mostly for searching old mailing list discussions. I think it existed before notmuch, though maybe not by much. (notmuch's first git commits are in 2009, my project's README gives an oldest copyright year of 2008)
Later on, I didn't care to update mailpie for python3 and nominally switched to notmuch—but around the same time, I also largely stopped participating in mailing lists altogether. Then I switched to gmail which used to have accurate & fast full text search but which turned to trash over the last few years. Of course, we all write software that suits us, but I always felt mailpie's mutt integration and thread support was better than notmuch's but partly I never learned to use notmuch effectively.
I archived the mailpie github project in 2021. Despite being on github for years and years it never saw an issue or PR, though inexplicably three people starred it.
