Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ouch, yeah, that sucks. Were you worried about the data loss risk or just tired of the slog?

Constantly worried about hackers... the "how i'm stealing your credit card data" post brought my level of stress to the max. I don't think I'll ever stop tracking and continue to use Nomie. Since it's purely offline and device only, like Alien Blue it should keep chugging for a while.

Out of curiousity, what would it take for you to bring it back? Managed security? more cash?

These get posted every week almost. I wonder if it’s mostly people looking to buy and then I sell at a marketplace for a profit.

DNDEmail ( https://dndemail.com ) adds do not disturb features to Gmail. I built it for myself and then opened it up to others. Basically, it keeps your inbox empty on all devices, and delivers all your new messages on a schedule you determine. I have 1600 sign-ups, 500 active users, and 22 paying customers. The post-beta conversion to paying account rate is 1.7%. The site has only been marketed on the Chrome Webstor…

I commented on your other submission as well. I’d be interested in buying this, feel free to email me, info is in profile.

We built https://safer.chat/ which is basically cryptocat (a secure end-to-end encrypted chat) without requiring to download/install anything.

Let me known if you are interested.

I built Nomie ( https://nomie.app ) over the last 5 years, the data that people track with it IS INSANELY personal. So much that the stress wore me out and I ended up shutting it all down 2 months ago. I'd love to sell it, but I'm too afraid of giving it to the wrong people. Every investor or potential buyer wanted Nomie for the users data, not because it was actually helping people - GTFO.

I built Kismet (https://findkismet.com) and don't have nearly as much time to spend on it as I'd like.

I would consider selling, but only to someone who wants to continue supporting it for the long term. I'd love a collaborator if anybody is interested!

For its worth, I am here to buy a real project, mostly to get put into practice everythig I read on hacker news.
