Deja View: find the startups that already tried your idea

Someone built Deja View, a tool that takes any startup idea and researches its real predecessors: companies that tried the same thing before, when they launched, and when they shut down.

It exists because the builder kept discovering the same pattern, a "new" idea turning out to have three dead startups already behind it, usually days after getting attached to it. Now that research happens before the building starts, not after.

Made by the original creator. This write-up follows the original post; it is not an independent product test.
