We've all been there—that side project we poured time and energy into, only to have it eventually die on the vine. Whether it was a lack of time, an unsuccessful launch, or a simple shift in focus, that code, domain, or user list now sits dormant.
We believe there's still value in these "dead" projects and digital assets. That's why we built Akshen, an auction platform specifically for creators to sell their unmaintained projects. It’s a chance to hand off your work to someone who can either use the assets for their own projects or breathe new life into the original idea.
We're currently collecting all kinds of projects, from simple open-source tools to full-fledged SaaS applications. If you have a project you're ready to part with or are curious about what's on the block, you can get in touch with us at info@akshen.com.
Happy to answer any questions you might have.
