I was employed by her for a time for various duties for her startup and she asked me to make this application
Since she "closed shop" is she running around trying to sell the software you made or is it just rotting away because her ego won't let you try to make something of it?
It has been rotting, I frequently used the APIs to remix into different apps, pulling posts and comments off LinkedIn for her to review and compile strategies based off of popular posts and users. She wanted some of that code so I forwarded my scripts to her to make use of. She isn't selling my scripts but she then used them for herself. I tried to sell this idea of integrating LinkedIn Leads to one of our partners who is also a budding start up and set up a meeting. Then I told her because I was proud of my work and she bashed my idea and the direction I was taking claiming I stole LeadFetch from her.
Quite the family member you got. At the very least hopefully you've gotten your family to shun them or something regardless of their "legal rights". Drives me nuts seeing "idea people" exploiting the actual effort and talent it takes to implement it.
