Sorry to hear it shut down, it had been one of the validating points, that there is something to be done with this space. Less competition I suppose?
Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage.
Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search, alerts, posting limits) rather than charge for a group, since they would just run to FB then.
