summary: >-
  Limbo Labs was a small San Francisco technical team that put a one-page placeholder on
  limbolabs.com announcing products would "begin launching in july 2010". The placeholder
  never changed into a product site, no API or developer surface was ever published, and
  the domain is now parked and listed for sale. No successor or acquirer was identified.

    Placeholder still unchanged after four years — same copy, same two images, no product,
    no navigation, no developer surface.

    Probed: limbolabs.com resolves (13.248.169.48) and serves a redirect stub to a "/lander"
    domain-sale page, ultimately Afternic/GoDaddy aftermarket listing
    https://www.afternic.com/forsale/limbolabs.com. TLS is valid (TLSv1.3, cert expiring
    2026-07-30) but belongs to the parking service, not to Limbo Labs.

api_surface:
  present: false
  evidence: >-
    An Internet Archive CDX enumeration of limbolabs.com returned only 11 distinct captured
    URLs across the domain's entire history: the root page, robots.txt, favicon.ico, four
    images, three stylesheets and one jQuery bundle. There is no developer portal, API
    reference, OpenAPI/Swagger document, GraphQL or AsyncAPI surface, SDK path, or any
    documentation path in the archive. The site was a single placeholder page for its whole
    lifetime.
well_known:
  present: false
  evidence: >-
    /.well-known/security.txt, /openid-configuration, /oauth-authorization-server,
    /api-catalog and /ai-plugin.json each return HTTP 200 on limbolabs.com, but every one
    serves the identical parking redirect stub, as does an arbitrary nonexistent control
    path. These are soft-404s, not published discovery documents, so none were harvested.
llms_txt:
  present: false
  evidence: >-
    https://limbolabs.com/llms.txt returns a real llms.txt, but it is published by the
    GoDaddy domain-aftermarket parking service and describes the domain listing for sale —
    not the Limbo Labs company. Not harvested and not wired as a provider artifact.
