I made a site to sell the husk of your stupid startup/project/whatever that you stopped working on for some reason.The idea is that you may have worked on some projects, wrote code, bought a domain, got customers even; and then life happened and you quietly abandoned your thing and now it's just collecting dust. Your useless project of the week might have some utility though for someone else, who knows? You can post anything for free that you're interested in dumping, and you can browse the projects you find cool and contact the sellers directly.I just list the stuff. The other part is that I made a sandbox to show previews of repos that are shared. A seller doesnt want to just submit their code for someone to hopefully not steal. The sandbox just requires giving read access to a GitHub app and I show only the GitHub skeleton and 20 line previews of each source file.For $99 a month, or lower/higher if I decide to change it, you can get access to contact info for each project.
