$40k and 9 months is not that much. Either you gave up just before you figure out how to make the business work or maybe GlacierMD wasn't that revolutionary.

Why not open sourcing and publishing all that work? You can still recoup some money via ad money even if it's not the millions you were expecting and at least you have something to show off.
