Hey — I built a side project called AfterWarranty (afterwarranty.net) and I’d love some blunt feedback. The idea: when you’re researching a purchase, it’s hard to find real long-term failure stories in one place. Reviews are mixed with shipping rants, Reddit threads scatter, and “it broke” doesn’t tell you much. So I made a public database of product failures — washing machines that leaked after 2 years, earbuds that died, cars with recurring issues, etc. — each tied to a source you can open yourself (retailer review, forum post, government complaint, and so on). Not “trust me bro.” What’s on the site today: Failure reports by product/model, with how long it lasted and what went wrong when we have that info Product life insights — patterns like common failure modes, months-to-failure, repair costs where people reported them Compare products side by side so you can weigh reliability before buying Comments on reports — discuss a specific failure without making an account Optional email notifications if you want a ping when someone replies or when new failures show up for a product you care about No accounts required to browse, submit a failure, comment, or follow updates — keep it low-friction What it’s not: a repair guide, a brand hate site, or AI-made summaries pretending to be evidence. Would love feedback on: What do you think about the project overall? Would you actually use this before buying something expensive? Is compare / life insights useful, or do they feel half-baked? What’s confusing or missing? What would make you trust (or distrust) a report?   submitted by   /u/Fickle_File9082 [link]   [comments]
