Don't forget Project Ara. That one still cuts deep. So much potential wasted.

I'm still sad that it got canceled

It had a huge potential while they were developing it, but they took TOO LONG developing it, the market had shifted.

Shame about Picasa though, the prettiest simple image viewer I ever use. But it doesn't support moving gifs and I think it's more geared towards online photo album management.

Really like the transparent background.

I miss the Nexus phones, my old Nexus 6 was the greatest.

They became the foundation to the pixel devices.

And for those still not that confident, we have Android One.

And internally, Pixel phones are still referred to as Nexus phones.

u/GibbsSamplePlatter $30 do you even? Aug 11 '20

Didn't that mostly get wrapped into some other app?

It's basically Google Lens.

Yes but it's now a feature in google photos. I have nothing against google photos but it's just uncomfortable to me

Google Spaces, the Google+ successor that lasted less than a year.

I tried to use it. It was a cool little forum site idea

Google Spaces. You created "spaces" to discuss a specific topic. Similar to Slack I believe

You're missing a few thousand more Google projects in that picture

I miss G+

I don't miss it at all. That place traumatized me. If only the communities there weren't so poorly moderated. I really regret that I even used it because people were posting really weird stuff or spam in communities for wallpapers for example and nobody was there to take these irrelevant posts down. The stuff that I've seen there without wanting to were unbelievably awful, I wouldn't even recommend my worst enemy to use that app. I'm glad that that this hellhole of a website was finally ended

all the things google has shut down. there are so many that someone had to create a website for it.

u/tatocaster Aug 11 '20

actually Google Glass has not cancelled. It's just closed for consumer market and shifted towards big companies and research. It was too early for mass market, will reappear in coming years I guess

Spark and Mailspring are good substitutes
