I'd be tempted to giveaway http://spendful.com to the right person.

Hi Mitchell, I'd be very interested to discuss this with you. I've been working on a similar application for over a year. What would you expect from the right person?

I had been building http://wishcan.com , a drag-and-drop travel planner, and will hand it off to someone willing to continue the work. Trip planning is difficult to get right, and notoriously hard to find a business model for. I think it's simply because no one has gotten the UI/UX perfect. I am now working on an IoT platform called http://smartxlab.com

Cannot agree more with wishcan. I sketched up a few different ideas for something like this, but never pushed on because I thought integrating with hotels, airlines, etc. Would painful. Also figured I'd need to automatically parse email confirmations, which would be a PITA. What is it written in and how much work is left to do?

I often wondered if automating the pain point you mention above (integrating with hotels, airlines etc.) and providing a singular, specialized API for that would be an amazing business opportunity. Seems like one of the existing travel companies could do it, or a travel agency.

Hey Mitchell, Merlin from https://thisisbud.com here. Looks like a cool tool you've made, what's made you close the door on it? I've sent an email over to you anyway as I'd love to hear more about it.

I have built a platform for Networking - specifically for conferences, meetups & business gatherings. We hosted one conference i.e Apple's WWDC. [1] http://wwdcconnect.com

I've had similar idea running around in my mind - would love to get a headstart. Shoot me an email at the reverse of moc.eborpdnes@nadeeffoc

If you take this on, I'd also be interested in helping out.

Having built and given up on an app that did exactly this, I would like to learn more about your experience. I am in the process of giving away the app, back-end, etc. as a result of a flippa auction. https://flippa.com/6895313-curia

Anyone interested in C++/Windows/Desktop products? Note, this is a commercial product, customers include Airbus, and everyone else. Mostly pirated, you'll have to figure that one out. Asking $125K or $500K for everything.

You what? Can you tell what it does. Just genuinely interested to know that.
