Technical co-founder needed for a 'neglected' app having 100,000 users
I'll just quickly list out all the details:
- I have a web app which I put together over a weekend back in 2008.
- It currently has about 100000 (one hundred thousand) registered users. But...... read on.
- The app has one very important feature missing.
- The app is poorly developed and very poorly designed.
- Most users don't come back after using the service once or twice (or thrice) because of that missing feature.
- The app is free.
- I put a survey on the app asking "Would you pay $5 a month if we add that feature?". 35% users said Yes!. Even if 90% of them are lying, we still have a great passive revenue opportunity.
- I spend zero money on marketing. Traffic is organic.
- I spend zero time on the app. Domain renewal is automatic. Hosting renewal is automatic. I just don't touch it. It runs on its own.
- I have been neglecting this project for so long. Procrastination.
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
What I am expecting from the technical partner:
- Build that feature (PHP, MySQL and some third party APIs). Building this feature can be little tricky. I am not sure.
- Integrate payment gateway.
- Just handle all the stuff.
- 50-50% split of revenue.
- So, in a nutshell, do all the work and get 50% split.

If interested, please give me your email id, I'll contact you. I am not comfortable in sharing the url here. I hope I am not violating any rule.

- asd1234 15y agoI might be interested: asd1234throw@gmail.com (throwaway address as well).
- randm_prgrmr 15y agoWell, now I am curious. I wonder what sort of app it is, and I wonder what % of those 100,000 registered users are active users. I've been looking for an excuse to use Stripe for payment processing. This could be it. Shoot me some details. randm.prgrmr@gmail.com
- iThrowAwayi 15y agoLike I mentioned, most users don't come back. 100,000 users have registered over last 1000+ days (I still have their email ids in the database). Only a small fraction are active. New registrations haven't slowed down though.
- dieselz 15y agoStripe is pretty impressive. I was able to build payment integration into a side project of mine in about 4 hours.

- jarsj 15y agoI had guess 100-200 daily active.
- iThrowAwayi 15y agoI just checked the traffic stats (I use statcounter) - 1,600 daily visits (of them 1000 are returning visits) - 4,400 daily page views
