Neat result. I've sold a few side projects over the years, it's always nice at first, though I've then ended up wondering "what if" as the years go by :-)
This jumped out to me:
We settled on an amount equivalent to how much I’d earn as a US-based engineer working 6 months, but then multiplied by X for the traction/success factor already achieved.
It sounds like you have a pretty significant win here, considering there was no real revenue. I'm guessing we're talking at least $50k multiplied by something.. so not exactly pocket change :-)
Thanks for writing up the experience. With screenshots and explaining how things panned-out. Very interesting read!
Curious about the secrecy about the price. I guess I'd feel awkward to boast about the specific price tag, but was there an NDA or something stopping you from naming the price? It's interesting how much you exposed and shared, but when it comes to $$s then it's usually a secret... :) not passing judgement at all, but just interesting to observe this (also on patio11's posts and I guess others).
