The network for abandoned projects
AI made starting free.
Someone still has to finish.
Where abandoned projects get a second life. Drop a project you walked away from. Someone out there wants to finish it. No calls. No middlemen. Just drop, discover, adopt.

How it works
From abandoned to adopted in three steps
Drop
Tell us about the project you walked away from. Title, story, GitHub link, tech stack. Takes two minutes. You stay credited as the original author forever.
Discover
Someone scrolls the feed, reads the story, sees the next steps. The signal is public: an explicit hand-off, not a quiet disappearance.
Adopt
One tap. Async. No gate. The new maintainer ships. Project flips from abandoned to rescued. The vision lives.
For engineering teams
Know your bus factor. Before the maintainer quits.
60% of OSS maintainers have quit or considered quitting. 44% have burned out. The top 100 most-depended-upon packages have a median bus factor of 1. Run a free audit on your GitHub org and see which critical dependencies are at risk.
The free audit scores the code you publish. The assessment scores the dependencies you ship — resolved, scored, and ranked, in two business days. No card required; we invoice.

Why this exists
A vision should never die.
Among popular GitHub projects, 16% were abandoned — and 41% of those came back (Avelino et al., 2019). About half of new US businesses are closed by year five (US Bureau of Labor Statistics). The pattern is the same: people start things, then walk away. BreakPoint is the platform that makes the walk-away the start of a second chapter, not the end of the story.
