Terms of Service

The service

Said It Couldn't Be Done is a free, read-only archive of dismissive early comments on now-successful indie products, paired with the outcomes that proved each take wrong. Features include: a receipt archive, a quiz, pattern exploration, and an AI chat to explore the data. No account is required to use any feature.

Acceptable use

Use the site however you like, with a few ground rules:

• Don't abuse rate limits – the AI chat has per-request limits. Automated scripts, bots, or attempts to bypass these limits will get your IP blocked.
• Don't scrape or redistribute – you may not bulk-scrape the site, our APIs, or the receipt database for use in competing products.
• Don't misrepresent – don't claim Said It Couldn't Be Done is your product, or use our brand in a way that implies endorsement.

The receipt archive

The receipts displayed on this site are curated excerpts of public comments from platforms like Hacker News, Product Hunt, Reddit, and X/Twitter. A few things to keep in mind:

• Receipts are sourced from publicly available posts and are used for commentary, criticism, and historical record — consistent with fair use principles.
• Revenue figures, valuation estimates, and outcome data are sourced from public reports, interviews, and announcements. We do not guarantee real-time accuracy.
• If you authored a quoted comment and want it removed, contact us and we'll review your request.

AI chat

• No guarantees – AI responses are generated from the receipt archive and may contain errors. Do not rely on AI responses for financial or business decisions.
• No storage – we do not store your chat history. Each session starts fresh.
• Rate limits apply – the chat feature is subject to usage limits to keep it free for everyone.

Free tool, provided as-is

Said It Couldn't Be Done is free. We work hard to keep it running and useful, but:

• We may change, pause, or discontinue features at any time. We'll try to give notice, but can't always guarantee it.

Termination

You can stop using the site at any time — no account to delete. We reserve the right to block IPs that violate these terms, particularly around rate limit abuse and scraping.
