Ask HN: What should I do with this website?

Posted by rnochumo on Saturday February 02, 2013 @03:12PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have been working on a website with a developer I hired to build http://chatplode.com.

My initial vision was to try and mesh imgur and snapchat into a website - but believe I failed pretty miserably with it and don't really have the time to do anything more to it.

Should I sell it? Give it to somebody that can devote more time to it? Pull the plug all together?

I am honestly considering just handing it over to somebody else for no cost. Yeah I will lose money in it but it would be cool if somebody has a great enough vision for it and wants to see it do well I might just hand it over to you.

Thoughts?

I've uploaded a sample image here, so folks can see how the site works:

Just so you know, the real-time chat usually works. Not sure what is wrong with it now. I will try to get it fixed soon. The idea is that multiple people can easily collaborate about an image in real time.

I would be interested in taking this over from you. I'm looking for a project right now and this looks really interesting. My email is: [email protected].

i'm not sure having a lot of emphasise on deleting the image form the server is appealing to users
