It crushes me to hear that they loved my software, and I’m taking it away

I&#x27;m guessing there might be someone willing to take over the project for free (if he&#x27;s abandoning it anyway) and invest the time in actually getting the word out and improving it? Who knows.<p>Ask for a small percentage of profits or something. The author can&#x27;t lose more than he already is by completely abandoning it and letting the domain expire. If only because when someone else is keeping it running, he could still use it himself.

Why don&#x27;t you just leave it up and running? Open-source it, let people run it on their own servers?

I liked this article, but, to use journalist lingo, he &quot;buries the lede&quot; a little.<p>&quot;It’s also tough because since breaking the news to our current set of 3 customers, I’ve received very positive feedback...&quot;<p>A grand total of three customers. This isn&#x27;t like Google Wave going away. Or, then again, maybe it is. After all, he had three more customers than they did.

This looks like it would serve the needs of my small team pretty well. We really just need a list of everyone on our team and what tasks they have assigned to them, not really any due date management needed. Please consider open sourcing it to run in our Intranet or something similar! We would use TaskShot!

Darn, this would have fit my needs exactly. Well, I&#x27;m just one person, but the way it&#x27;s described it would fit my workflow pretty good.

&gt; A Sidestrapper is ½ developer, ½ marketer, ½ bootstrapper<p>As a fellow programmer, i&#x27;m disappointed with the math.

why not put it on flippa.com even if you get $100 for it, it works out for your customers.

Why not at least pay the $10 for the domain?

Why is the title of the post so different than the article title? I thought it was an erronous link at first.
