Nice idea - makes sense on the surface - but I wonder if a 3rd party can actually do what the visionary cannot - yes they have sales and marketing chops - but they need the story, the connection to the original use case, and to provide feedback to the "too busy" developer - there are lots of "better mousetraps" that "should" sell, but often it takes the inventor, meeting the customer, sharing the passion, sharing the vision - to inspire an early adopter to take the leap... |

To give a bit more backstory, I have been the visionary time and time again. I found that my connection to the use case, passion, and vision helped me build great products. After all, I'm a developer and I love building out the passion projects that I want to see in the world. But even as the passionate visionary, I kept finding myself hitting the same wall. I have a full-time job and I love building software, but I'm not a salesman. I'm not a marketer, and I certainly don't have time to do all three jobs. This led to a bit of burnout, loss of inspiration, and eventually a bigger github graveyard.
Don't get me wrong, I know that without a visionary the project is dead before it even began. My whole goal with this app is to help fellow developers and visionaries find help to bring their projects to life.
It's tough being a one-man (or one-woman) show. Developing, selling, marketing, getting feedback, among other jobs is tough! Especially for your passion side-projects.
Let's get you visionaries some help. Let's get those projects out into the world. Let's stop adding to our github graveyards. Let's make some money while doing it.
PUT AN END TO GITHUB GRAVEYARDS. LET YOUR PROJECTS LIVE. GET PAID FOR YOUR WORK.
