Ask HN: Want to buy my (profitable) Mac app?

[markchristian]

After about three years, I'm ready to stop working on my Mac app, DragonDrop. (https://shinyplasticbag.com/dragondrop/)

It's still generating pretty decent revenue (about $7,000 USD over the past 12 months), but I don't really have the time in my life for a side project at the moment (I just bought a house! So much work.).

I'd love to find a new home for it rather than just pulling it from the App Store; if you're interested, get in touch (m@rkchristian.ca) -- all reasonable offers will be entertained.

Thanks for reading! ❤️.

Apptopia just changed its name to Fliptopia. It's a marketplace for just this sort of thing: https://www.fliptopia.com/

Seems it could help you more than an HN post...

Another marketplace is https://flippa.com/buy-apps

May I ask, did you buy your house (in SF Bay Area?) by Twitter salary and/or your side projects?

I personally think that it is not a good time for buying real estate in places such as SFBA or e.g. London, because of the bubble.. And I think after some time this bubble will burst and house prices will come lower.

Anyway, congratulations with your new home! ;)

Gah, I'm an idiot -- it's actually made about half that amount ($3,500) because I forgot to subtract the earnings of my other Mac app, Timebar. I really wish I could edit/delete this post. #embarrassed

I emailed you.

Is Hacker News really an appropriate place to post what amounts to a want ad? Just asking.

[zerr → chmaynard]

Why not? It is kind of asking your peers. And some [good] discussions might follow as well.

I would appreciate if it was less of an add and more of a discussion, but that's just me I suppose.

This would honestly fit better into a "Show HN"
