Yep we talked to FE and they were great, but most selling processes require doco, finances, code review, walkthroughs, hand holding, explanations etc. “write down all the shit you’ve just known or learnt in the last 8 years” to make some multiple of revenue (not necessarily >1), with no guarantee of the sale closing and having to repeat.

Too. Hard. That plus the complexity of other things in our lives to deal with means that some $ just to see through a sale isn’t worth it.

The software is the thing we built and a testbed which we cut our teeth on, and learnt so much, took that knowledge and folded into other newer projects an incredible platform for learning and iteration, but we’ve moved on to bigger and better already so don’t too feel bad about turning it off (it was our first baby tho..).

I see. If continuing to operate it is out of the question and selling it is too much of a hassle, have you considered open sourcing the code to give it a chance for a second life, instead of letting it die on a hard drive somewhere?
