Ask HN: How can I sell my app?
4 comments
I can personally relate to your situation from a decade ago when I was in university. A decade of entrepreneurship, a few ups and many downs later, I'd say that generally any serious participant is looking to buy a business, not just the technology. Maybe find someone at your university to work with on that aspect?
In any case you have an excellent resume item - showing an idea that you've taken to completion is a meaningful signal to employers, investors, and a generally useful mentality to have in this industry.

I have recently put together a list places to buy an app, mostly sourced from [1]
Not sure on the seller side, but I think microaquire + indiemaker + sideprojectors would be a good combination of places to list.

Also unsolicited advice: you app looks cool, but I only saw it in the wiki! Put a big wide hero style screenshot on the home page.

As a buyer, most of these are not so good, and I am only using microacquire. (reasons: too few listings / all listings are just Amazon affiliates / buggy / no one replying).Not sure on the seller side, but I think microaquire + indiemaker + sideprojectors would be a good combination of places to list.

I have 0 experience with this space, but I've seen microacquire come up here on HN a few times. Maybe other users that actually used it or competitors could provide more insight, but there is at least 1 option for this.

I think the sum of apps on play and app store shows that it is not super easy to sell apps. Probably even more difficult for desktop apps.
If it helps, the app in question is at https://parallelsocial.net. Thank you for your help & advice!
