Has anyone tried to buy and grow an existing app?

I saw that there were many well-polished apps on indiemakers.co. Any indie hackers tried to acquire one and grew an abandoned product?

Mind sharing your exp? How do you decide to pick an app? Do you buy the product developed with the stack you know?

    Oh, this is an interesting question around this topic. I have no experience in that, but I would love to read answers if there is anyone who knows them for your questions and can share more details

    I am evaluating one site to buy now. < $1k MMR. I can update on how it goes.
    My experience so far has been that finding the right one takes a lot of digging.

      Please do! Also curious to hear your experiences (especially about how to dig). ⛏️

    Unrelated, @csallen I would love to be able to follow threads for later :)

    @ryan has a ton of experience with this. I haven't found a great fit so far, personally. I'm big on founder-market fit, so I tend to start my own ideas, but buying something at $1k MRR isn't too expensive and skips the whole validation part.

      +1 @csallen for the feature request!
