To add a product, gather the following information:
- Name of Product (
name) - Launch Date (
dateOpen) - Discontinued Date (
dateClose) - Description (
description) - Link (
link) - Relevant link to the source - Type (
type) - one of App, Service or Hardware
If you are not familiar with or do not want to use git, submit a new issue requesting the change. If you are already familiar with git, follow these steps:
- If you haven't already, start by forking this repository.
- Create a new branch in your fork. Name it using the product you want to add
- Switch to that branch (should happen automatically if you've just created it) and open the
graveyard.jsonfile - Use the information gathered above to add a JSON entry in the following format (note the alphabetical order of keys):
{
"dateClose": "YYYY-MM-DD",
"dateOpen": "YYYY-MM-DD",
"description": "[Product Name] was a single sentence overview of the product or service.",
"link": "https://any.link-to-a.source/will/work-and-wikipedia-is-cool",
"name": "[Product Name]",
"type": "app|service|hardware"
}
- Finally, create a Pull Request (PR) using the newly created branch (Important: DON'T use the
mainbranch for the PR). Submit it with the necessary explanations.
For code contributions outside of graveyard.json, check out the Contributing Guide.
The description should be a single sentence describing the product. It should begin with the products name. For example, "Google Reader was an RSS/Atom feed aggregator." It will be attached to a generated sentence like "Killed about 5 years ago, Google Reader was an RSS/Atom feed aggregator."
Please be respectful, only use past tense.
Link should be a resource that mentions the discontinuation date and talks about the product. Wikipedia is perfect.
The type should be either app, service, or hardware as a string.
