(I really hope the first sale was the hardest.)
Thanks, HN. I've learned a lot here.
The web-application allows anyone to create, purchase, and share their own Android application (no programming required).
The technology behind the site is for sale, including: website code and Android code. (The company is not for sale. There are no obligations to existing customers.)
The buyer could have their own site up and running, creating Android apps and charging customers within days.
The app currently built by the site is an "Android Business Card" (check out the above URL for a full demo). The system could also be used for building and selling other customizable Android applications.
The ability to monetize is built into the site. Users can build and test their application for free and pay to get a releasable and shareable version.
Similar services that build applications for the iPhone are charging $199-$499 per app. Getting a developer to build an app similar to that produced by the site would cost several thousand dollars.
The technology behind the site: Python/Django, Android SDK, Amazon S3, and Google Checkout for charging. I have developed all code behind the site and can make transitioning it fast and easy.
Email bennybeta (gmail) for offers and inquiries.
(Any helpful advice on how to make selling this easier would also be appreciated.)
Our first application grew from the idea that if you have a smart phone, you shouldn't have a dumb business card.
Try it for free. You can have a customized Android application on your phone in a few minutes, no programming required.
Thanks, hackers.
