I’m looking for someone to take over Written? Kitten!

A few years ago, my housemate Emily and I sat down for an afternoon and created Written? Kitten!, a writing motivation tool that rewards you with pictures of kittens for every 100 words you write. Since then it’s had over a million visitors and has gained heaps of fans among writers of all kinds.

Sadly, I no longer have the motivation to maintain it, so I’m looking for someone to take it over.

This would involve:

  • I transfer the domain to you, and you continue to keep it up and running or at least smoothly transition to something else (eg. with a redirect for a year or two)
  • Web-hosting wise, you simply need to host a single static HTML file; it gets about 25k-50k hits a month, sometimes spiking in November during NaNoWriMo (the most was its first NaNo, at 235k visits in Nov 2011.) It is currently hosted on Dreamhost shared hosting, and has no troubles.
  • You take over ownership of this github repo and deal with very occasional bugfixes, improvements, etc. (There are a couple of outstanding pull requests/issues at present.)

I’d ask that you continue to attribute me and Emily as the original creators, and to retain its current BSD license.

Anyone want it? Let me know here.
