Ah, interesting that you acquired this. Was it listed for sale somewhere? Or how did you come to buying it?

It was listed on TransferSlot.com and had been there for a few months when I found it - I was just trawling through their archives. I've owned the site for just over 6 months now and I bought it because I've been following the "nocode" scene for years (Did some work with treeline.io) and had previously seen the site and wished I had the idea first!
Originally I had planned to develop an online course for the audience, but that became a crowded market quite quickly, so I've launched a community and I'm kicking off a new series of articles and content to grow the traffic (amongst other things!)
P.S - Going to drop you a DM on Twitter about Ministry of Testing, have a question! (Don't think IH has a private message function?)

I hadn't come across TransferSlot. What other sites do you use to keep an eye on things for sale? I keep coming across 1k projects.
I use to look at Flippa alot, but got tired of so many poor listings.

Yeah Flippa is terrible, so much low-quality scam businesses on there.
So for low-level acquisitions (Sub $25,000 generally), TransferSlot is my go-to, but I also check out borderline.biz, http://Opportunityoverload.com and most recently https://tinyacquire.com (Curated roundup of good stuff from 1KProjects etc)
There's also SideProjectors.com
I was thinking about an article for IndieHackers on how I decided on my strategy to buy small indie companies (as an alternative to spending months in the ideation phase), how I do it, how I acquired NoCode and my other company etc - Would that be useful for you?

Yes, it would be very useful, I think. Anyway, great acquisition, I'd say. I have been a fan of NoCode and I like the concept behind it, it's not limited to the curation only but also a way to help new starters with little experience. There are a lot of things that could be done with that niche as failory.com did, for example. I am working on a similar project now but localized into a non-English language.
