He was bootstrapped and sold it for more than he would have made working full-time for another company or contracting for those 9 months, so kudos for coming out ahead!
He basically ripped off a github repo curated list of APIs and made it "searchable" + listed to PH then sold the site based on the traffic from that one spike. Not belittling it at all - he had the initiative to build it, monetize it, and sell it.
- boundlessdreamz 7y agoDidn't he sell the tweetjobs.dev and not the API app?
- busymom0 7y agoThat's what I am curious about to. From reading the blog, I csn't tell which one did he sell. He says it's the same buyer but was it for the new site?
- jacurtis 7y agoIt was confusing. But I think he sold the public api site. And now he wants to work on the tweet jobs site. After he had the idea for tweet jobs, he said the original buyer submitted another offer on the original project (which it sounds like he had most abandoned).
