Ask HN: What would you do? Unfinished app gets 20+ signups a month

[jbazmt]

Hello HN,

I'm a marketing guy/project manager and a couple years ago I built a note taking app with a contract developer. I had to abandon the project as the developer left, budget went dry and life required other commitments. Over this time I've been using it for myself, but a couple months ago I started getting some signups. It's a collaborative note taking app so it's got some sharing features that are driving the sign ups. It's free to use and I did build a revenue model into the app but it needs quite a bit more work before anyone would pay for the service.

Currently, I'm still sans developer with no more cash to put into the project and I'm at a crossroads because the more I market the product the more I think a bigger team will adsorb my ideas and make a much better app. I think I have a great name, a great domain and it's web based so it works on desktop and mobile. I also have a ruff outline of features I would like to add but I'm just not finding a developer that doesn't want cash up front. What would you do?

Best,

Find someone who wants to work on it, someone who can code and then expand it. What language is the app written in/what platform is it for? I would be interested in partnering with you.

App is written in php. organic code. no platform. My email is in my profile. I'd be interested in talking.

are you looking to sell it?
