A friend and fellow developer came to me with a basic idea and I started building it, taking creative license to improve upon the initial proposal. Fast forward 3 months to now and I have made all but 1 commits to the repo. Of his sole commit, I changed quite a bit of it.
I came up with the name, bought the domain, set up web hosting, created all the assets, set up the pricing model, etc. We haven't discussed percentage of ownership or anything yet.
Since he is much more outgoing than me I assumed he would take up the sales and marketing. He goofed up on that recently. Now that I'm ready to to incorporate and nearly ready to start looking for beta users I realized that I'm going to need someone with more day time availability and, in general, more dedication and work ethic.
Can I just tell him I want to proceed without him? Do I owe him anything?
