Josh SchneiderDeveloper $20,000 sale price of LooseLeaf.ai
Published May 11, 2023 by Niall Doherty

Josh Schneider launched an app a couple of weeks back…

Introducing looseleaf.ai!

Had a blast building my first app with @OpenAI & @LangChainAI. Looseleaf lets you chat with any document.

So you can upload a PDF document, for example, and then use a ChatGPT-like interface to chat with it. Useful when you have a big long document and don’t want to read through the whole thing to find something specific.

The cool part: less than 24 hours after launching, and with $0 in revenue, Josh sold the app for $20,000 via the acquire.com marketplace

Damon Chen was the buyer of the app, and it’s now PDF.ai. Looks like it’s still free to use but he will likely introduce paid plans soon.

I’ve featured Damon a couple of times in this newsletter before

Back to Josh, and it looks like he was able to build and launch quickly in large part due to his weapons of choice …

Deciding to use @nextjs +@vercel was a no brainer.

Another developer responded…

Next.js + Vercel tooling is a game-changer for solopreneurs.

Never been this easy to build and ship *complex* stuff fast

If you want to get started building apps like this yourself, here’s a good 25-minute video intro…

With some deep practice, you might be able to spin up a quick application like Josh and flip it for $20k in a matter of days
