Put an end to GitHub graveyards – Find a sales partner for your project

I'm half kidding, half serious. I found myself in your exact position several times before. Often times, the reality isn't that "nobody cares about our projects" but really that they haven't seen enough love from "other side".

As developers, we excel at building great products. We often think that a great product will sell itself, and that people will be excited to buy after just hearing about what we have to offer. I've definitely found myself in this frame of mind time and time again, I've found that this simply isn't the case. Even the greatest products in the world needs some love from the sales/marketing fronts, and without that, it's particularly difficult to "get people excited" about what you have to offer. Thinking that "nobody cares about our projects as much as we do" is something that I have found particularly destructive to my project success and progress (and often leads to a larger graveyard). Hopefully my app can help projects like ours get a chance at some traction and get people to care!

END THE GRAVEYARD! GIVE YOUR PROJECT A CHANCE AT THE LIME LIGHT!

Very pumped to get some developer feedback here as well, much appreciated! I'll post the app soon, let's get your graveyard back up and running!

The way I see it is from the sales perspective, you get access to great products that have sales potential. It gives a seller the ability to make extra cash on the side, while the dev is granted the luxury of being able to focus on what they do best. Build.

Several apps out there are hyper focused on building teams, businesses, and finding co-founders. This proves very difficult for the exact reasons you mentioned, among others.

The main focus of this app is getting the underground projects a chance at the lime light. Connecting dev and sales in a way that they can give their projects life (and make some money doing it). It's not attempting to "find the perfect cofounder" or "build the perfect team" but simply to connect the right people, with the right skill-sets to get projects off the ground (and make money doing it).

I'm happy to hear about Ghost Engine and Salesory, since it seems to show some demand for the type of "outsourced" or "freelance" sales that this app would be tailored to.

The sales incentive design will definitely be a huge contributor to the success of this project. If you have any feedback on incentive designs that you know are successful or that you would like to see, please let me know!
