Hey folks! I've developed a web app and I'm considering selling it. I'm not exactly selling a full startup with active users or revenue; it's more of a ready-to-use project that someone else could take, deploy, and build on. I know about Flippa, but I'm unsure if it's the ideal place for what I've got. Here are the details of the tech stack I used:
- **Backend:** NestJS + Prisma + MySQL API
- **Frontend:** Next.js + TypeScript
I'm looking for recommendations on:
- The best marketplaces or communities for selling something like this
- How to value an app that doesn't have any existing revenue
Thanks for any insights you can share!

You might want to check out platforms like [Microns.io](https://www.microns.io/), [AcquireBase](https://acquirebase.com/), or [LittleExits](https://littleexits.com/). They cater to selling such web projects. Also, consider looking at CodeCanyon and similar sites where scripts and apps are sold. Since your tech stack is solid, it should attract buyers! As for valuation, it can be tough without revenue, but you can look at similar projects on these sites to gauge their pricing.
You need to consider who your ideal customer is; someone familiar with your stack (Nest, ORM, etc.) might be harder to find. Pricing could be a challenge too; without revenue, you might end up with a low price point. Unfortunately, many just want free or very cheap options. You might want to think about open-sourcing it if finding a buyer proves difficult.
Honestly, it's quite tricky to find buyers for projects like yours without a user base. Many people are more interested in apps that are already running. If you can, think about releasing the app and growing it a bit before trying to sell it as a full startup—it's a lot easier that way.
