T Guthrie — original completed-closure retrospective ↗ · Checked 12 Oct 2026
Sources and verification
- Shutdown
- Co-founder T Guthrie’s July 15, 2025 retrospective explicitly says WhyHive wrapped up a few months earlier and refers to the week the app shut down. The displayed July 15 day is an inferred observation proxy for that dated first-hand confirmation, not the actual final customer-access day or a new shutdown announcement. The exact announcement, actual cutoff, hour and timezone are unverified. An earlier exact co-founder winding-up post confirms a customer email contained the offline timeline but does not reproduce that timeline. The indexed April 28, 2025 plan on the now-404 shutdown article remains discovery-only and is not promoted into a verified cutoff. Product identity comes from T Guthrie’s complete founder-authored statement rendered inside Aimee Koval’s LinkedIn re-share: a separate freemium app used LLMs for text analysis and surveys, alongside reliable charts, with its own sign-up and demonstration dataset. This is the attributed original founder body as embedded on a re-share, not Aimee’s personal endorsement treated as primary product proof. The company’s original LinkedIn profile links whyhive.com and identifies Melbourne headquarters. WhyHive is the verified operating brand; its exact legal name is not established from the accepted readable sources. The original About, privacy and guide pages currently return 404 through ordinary HTTPS and were not reproducibly readable during final verification; they supply neither the published date nor additional product facts. No app account access or deletion was audited. Closure source
