StackDigest creator completed-production shutdown checklist ↗ · Checked 13 Oct 2026
Sources and verification
- Shutdown
- In her dated November 7, 2025 retrospective, creator Karen Spinner says her final shutdown checklist was completed that morning, including deletion of the production environment and data source. That date records the production shutdown, not a later domain redirect or first announcement. She describes a distinct hosted web app launched August 15 with real beta users, AI digests, semantic search and machine-learning newsletter analysis; the earlier Python script and possible limited RSS-based open-source digest are separate. Her current tools portfolio marks Stack Digest archived and explicitly confirms it shut down. Karen Spinner is recorded as the sole creator/operator: the retrospective expressly says no LLC was established. No operating city or country is established. Initial closure announcement, exact cutoff hour and timezone are not established. The failed live-domain fetch is not used as closure evidence. Closure source
