Tell HN: I've decided to give my software away for free
Hi HN,
About 6 weeks ago, I launched a new piece of social networking software named Kwolla. Kwolla lets you create your own social network platform. Sales were initially very good, but they've since dwindled.
I'm working on a much newer version of the software and also trying to find a way to monetize it. During that time, I've decided to at least give it away free so hopefully some people can get use out of it.
I plan on having a full post-mortem on my blog - http://blog.leftnode.com giving more information about future releases and the results of giving my software away free.
If you're interested, head on over to http://kwolla.com and download a copy.

- instakill 16y agoSomeone that's got VPS hosting should download this and make an HN-based social network. Just for shits and giggles.

- ddorian 16y agoHave you thought of making a hosted version (SAAS)?
- sagacity 16y agoThumbs up for you! I'm tempted to take up instakill's suggestion posted here. I'll download and hopefully install/config it on one of our spare domains early next week. If I do, I'll post the URL on this thread.
- leftnode 16y agoGreat! I'm probably an hour away from releasing version 1.1.1 which makes installation easier and adds a bunch of features. Might want to give it a little bit.
