The Skip List: Tried, Tested, and Politely Shown the Door

Right, deep breath. This is the bit of the job nobody enjoys: the products we loved the idea of, rooted for, and then had to quietly let go. Everything here has been properly tried and scored, and not one of them earned a place in the bathroom cabinet of honour. I'm not being cruel — most are perfectly pleasant things that simply fail at the one job you're paying for, or do it at a price your bank account will never forgive. So consider this a small act of financial kindness. The money you don't spend here is money you can spend on something that actually works. Onwards.
