One thing you should do is make sure you're legally allowed to sell it behind your own brand. The departed Captain might still have legal claim to the IP, the idea, etc...unlikely but possible. Who owns what? If you're completely in the clear on that front, well, first off - your product sounds pretty interesting. Secondly, what went wrong? Does that person that had the falling out over slack still have the ability to screw you or the UI/UX person over? Do they own trademarks, the LLC registration, etc...? However, the most important question is this: if you could take it with your UI/UX partner, and start a company and do this fulltime, would you? Or is this something you're interested in using as a portfolio project for a better dev job? Would you seek investment quickly? Shit, if you're looking for a business-oriented person, there are plenty of people here who would probably love to jump into that role (myself included).

I'm pretty sure legally it's pretty much settled, and i can continue this under a different name. Yeah the product is pretty simple yet interesting, something in it catches me and that's why i dumped immense labor into it. Having vast experience and being bored of conventional software jobs i can develop something like this easily Basically at the current point it watches the video for you and breaks it down to all possible short clips you can extract from it, organises them into topics, speakers and chapters, plus the online editor to scale/crop/pad/caption/cc and export/distribute it. It is also a very flexible base to perform any kind of video-related editing/distribution tasks or projects whatsoever, elegantly overcoming all blockers such app could face with some real user load. I would definitely seek to partner an experienced business person who might be interested in joining this, taking the responsibility of setting the business entity google can approve and stripe can send money to, as well as leading the way to sales, and while i can take it without getting fully broke, which is couple months, i think i will engage, so feel free to drop me an email if you wanna chat about this:) You nicely noticed it is a great portfolio which could be studied as a robust minimal modular k8s node.js microservices infrastructure, or get me a high pay job right away, but after 7 years i'm so bored of this – i want to have something i really own and care after from ground up
