A design collaboration tool launched in 2010 by an app development studio to facilitate better client communication, especially for design feedback, is up for acquisition. Initially marketed through an email signup campaign, the tool gained momentum post-launch and was featured in prominent design publications. It operates on a subscription model offering an unlimited plan for £10 GBP per month, with a 30-day free trial. Despite consistent support and bug fixes, the developers could not fully realize the platform's potential due to other client commitments and are now seeking a new owner to further the app's development and reach.
The tool is recognized within the web design community, having facilitated over 172,000 image uploads with 4,020 users. Key features include mood indicators for feedback, multiple ways to annotate designs, and presentation modes for different types of mockups. Technically, it runs on Ruby on Rails with hosting on Heroku and utilizes Amazon S3 for asset storage. The acquisition includes code ownership, domain rights, social media accounts, brand assets, and the user database. Interested parties will receive comprehensive support during the transfer process.
The transaction will use an Escrow service to manage payments, with fees divided between buyer and seller. The developers express openness to further discussions and believe the tool has significant growth potential with the right focus on marketing and development.
