Technical co-founder needed for a 'neglected' app having 100,000 users
- I have a web app which I put together over a weekend back in 2008.
- It currently has about 100000 (one hundred thousand) registered users. But...... read on.
- The app has one very important feature missing.
- The app is poorly developed and very poorly designed.
- Most users don't come back after using the service once or twice (or thrice) because of that missing feature.
- The app is free.
- I put a survey on the app asking "Would you pay $5 a month if we add that feature?". 35% users said Yes!. Even if 90% of them are lying, we still have a great passive revenue opportunity.
- I spend zero money on marketing. Traffic is organic.
- I spend zero time on the app. Domain renewal is automatic. Hosting renewal is automatic. I just don't touch it. It runs on its own.
- I have been neglecting this project for so long. Procrastination.
-----------------------------------------------

What I am expecting from the technical partner:
- Build that feature (PHP, MySQL and some third party APIs). Building this feature can be little tricky. I am not sure.
- Integrate payment gateway.
- Just handle all the stuff.
- 50-50% split of revenue.
- So, in a nutshell, do all the work and get 50% split.

I've integrated PayPal in the past too :)
I have strong PHP experience (currently building enterprise level PHP apps) and I've done extensive payment gateway integration, including custom e-commerce platforms.
Very interested.
I'll be sending a mail to all of you soon. Thanks for your interest.
