Offer HN: Buy my file sharing site
http://fileslap.com
Fileslap is a file sharing site with built in file preview that's built on Django. Files are stored at S3 (currently costs about $25/month) and billing is handled by CheddarGetter. The site itself is on a basic shared host (Webfaction) and could be moved anywhere that supports Django.
I'm eager to sell due to me losing interest about a year ago and the fact that I never marketed it so it's not very well known. The site works well but has no paying customers and a small user base on the free plan (the site gets about 100 unique visits a day).
Reply here if you're interested or email me at mikecrittenden@gmail.com ...I'd be willing to consider just about any offer.

- shawabawa3 13y agoThe site actually looks pretty good I'm a little tempted to buy it even though I have absolutely no time to do anything with it. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to get it slightly profitable. I would just: 1. Make a cheaper tier of around $1/month (maybe for 1GB files, 1TB max or something) 2. Make the free tier better. 500mb files maybe 3. Make the non-logged in files last forever Link rot is bad and makes you look bad. People using the free tier is free advertising. If the files last forever people are more likely to actually use it.
- mcrittenden 13y agoBut if free users get unlimited files that last forever, why would anyone pay?
- machbio 13y agoWhat would the asking rate be ?
- mcrittenden 13y agoNo asking rate really, just wanted to see what (if anything) people might offer. I'm willing to consider anything.
- e1ven 13y agoNeat site - Just a FYI- I second the flippa suggestion. You might also want to post relevant data, such as #users, techstack, etc, etc. GL.
- nickconfer 13y agoSell it on flippa. You'll get more interest and bids.
