Hi!

A buddy and I tried to build a messaging app over the summer. We've decided to work on other things, and don't know what to do with the IP (who gets to keep what, can we use it in the future for other projects, etc.) and we'd like to make some money off of it too :). If you or anyone you know would be interested, please send us an e-mail at admin@nimbusapp.co (or just bid).

Video: http://nimbusmessenger.com (UI is old here, see the ebay pictures for updated UI).

The features are listed in the ebay description, but I'll re-paste them here:

Feature 1: Pasting a YouTube link delivers a inline YouTube player. YouTube playlists supported

Feature 2: Pasting a Spotify link results in a fully functional music player, with scrubbing fast forward, rewind, and play/pause enabled. Playlists and albums are supported. You can skip between songs in a playlist or album.

Feature 3: Pasting a SoundCloud link results in a SoundCloud card, playable, favoritable, and shareable from inside the message stream.

Feature 4: Pasting a twitter link results in a twitter card embedded inside the message stream. Favoriting and retweeting supported.

Feature 5: Pasting an address results in a map card. Clicking Start Navigation will automatically start driving directions on Google Maps. If Google Maps is not installed it will fall back toApple Maps.

Feature 6: Pasting a URL to a page that has a video embedded inside of it will result in a card that looks like this. The video will be playable from directly inside the message stream.

Feature 7: Nimbus allows you to filter your messages based on messages that are links, photos, or have been starred by you (all messages can be starred, by clicking on the start to the left of them).

Feature 8: Easily add a song you received from a friend to an existing Spotify playlist or your Songs.

Feature 9: Shows successfully adding a Spotify song to Songs.

Feature 10: Nimbus allows users to comment about a specific piece of content (link, photo, video, tweet) and keeps that discussion together in one place for future reference and organization.

Feature 11: Shows Apple Maps navigated to from Nimbus Messenger (see top left where it says "Back to Nimbus").
