How it works
Turn your killed projects into a portfolio that proves you ship — in three easy steps.
1. Upload screenshots
Before you shut down that server, capture screenshots and upload them. No live demo needed — just proof it existed.
2. Tell the story
Document the tech stack, what you learned, and why it didn't work out. The story is more valuable than the code.
3. Share your museum
Get a shareable portfolio page. Show employers, VCs, or fellow builders your full journey — not just the wins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free tier? expand_more
Yes! You can preserve up to 3 projects completely free. Need more? Our paid plan offers unlimited projects and custom portfolio URLs.
What if my project was never deployed? expand_more
No problem! Many great projects never made it to production. Upload screenshots from localhost, design mockups, or even just describe what you built. If you made it, it counts.
Why not just use Google Drive or Notion? expand_more
Google Drive is a file dump. Notion is for notes. Failed Museum is a portfolio designed specifically for showcasing your builder journey. It's shareable, beautiful, and tells your story — not just stores your files.
Who is this for? expand_more
Indie hackers, solo founders, and side project builders who ship fast and kill often. If you've ever wished you had proof of that app you built last year — this is for you.
