- http://www.tweepsect.com/ - Gets 300,000~600,000 pageviews per month (about 1/6 uniques), makes a couple hundred bucks from ads each month. Been around for almost 5 years.
- http://colorblendy.com/ - There's also a Chrome app (20k weekly users), website gets about 4,000~8,000 visits/month. I had some ideas for making a "Pro" edition with things like importing/exporting colors from/to CSS stylesheets. Probably need to do some more market research before diving into this.
- http://wedomainsearch.com/ - Few hundred visits per month, brand new (built several months ago). Fairly cool idea that is really valuable for founders/hobbyists, I use it all the time. Needs some love for promotion and monetization, though.
I love working on these little stand-alone projects (a few more here: http://shazow.net/, also my email address if you want to reach out), sometimes I wish I could just whip them out and sell them as a living but the code alone is never as valuable without putting in effort into growing the audience.
Thanks for putting it out there :)
I realize that may sound weird. I'm ok with it.
It erks me that different words 'stalkers' and 'stalking' are used to refer to the two parts of the graph, when there is no distinction between them.
Confused me that's all :)
the simple idea is that you create your front-end application without an API (using standard Backbone best practices). when you start your application, Brainy can inspect your routes and models and create an API for you.
future potential includes something like websocket support (syncing data), and out-of-the-box server side rendering. i have both of these working but not complete.
i'm not exactly looking to sell the project, but i'd love to appoint a new owner to the application. it has a lot of potential i just simply can't prioritize it right now. my email is in my profile if anyone wants to talk about it.
edit: i'm giving away something i put a lot of time in for free and i'm getting downvoted. why am i not totally surprised.

Struggling to find the time & energy to turn this hobby into a stronger business.
Makes ~$1500+ in revenue on a monthly basis. Pretty low maintenance, just add levels every other week to keep engagement (~2 hours a month of work). 2600+ reviews, average 4.5 stars.

Started Instamotor.com with my partners and we're selling b/c we'd rather take the money now and put it into Instamotor than wait every month to get incremental value.
email in profile.
Menu and takeaway listings (mainly in the UK). Makes around $6,000 per year of Adsense. It's been fairly untouched since I started it in 2006. Has good pagerank for a lot of takeaway names. Costs are a Digital Ocean Droplet @ $5 a month = $60 per year.
(If I didn't already have too many projects to work on, I would seriously consider making you an offer, but alas...)
How did you seed it with restaurant menus in order to attract your first users? Was there (and when?) a tipping point when you had enough eyeballs that restaurants started to add their own menus?
It seems like a natural buyer would be someone like a student who wants to kick the tires of the whole running a small business thing, but start with a better baseline than merely "from scratch", mitigating some market risks, as it were, and reusing existing code.
What I like about this is that rather than all the research and development going to waste, it's helping someone else. So if you want to start a new thing, you can try to buy the closest thing that's already there, and stand on the shoulders of the previous generation.
There's an idea for a market place lurking in there somewhere. not so much from "get the most cash for your side project", but from the "find a good use for your old work" angle. I have a couple of projects I want to offload myself, and I care more about them being put to good use than about finding the highest bidder or whatever.
- Costs under $50 per month to run
- Generates anywhere from $200-$1200 per month, depending on the season (it gets big each December for some reason)
- 20,000-40,000 uniques each month
- native iOS and Android apps have ~10,000 installs each
If anyone happens to be interested, shoot me an email at hi@petersobot.com.
Serves 40 million images a month. It can generate small thumbnails or large screenshots of full-length Web pages. It runs itself and I rarely touch it, but I don't have time to improve and monetize it.
- Do you cache images? If so, how long are they cached? - Are there any restrictions, beside adding the attribution link, for commercial usage?

Anyways, like I said, shoot me an email if your seriously interested. I'd love to make my time spent on the project pay off by helping me pay for student loans...
Would love some funding, or for someone to take it over and help out with student loans.
Have you had any luck trying to sell it?

$150k rev last 12 months Full project management platform to manage clients & contractors (developers, designers, erc.) with auto-quoting proposals, signing and paying online, and tracking and monitoring the progress of your site as it's being built -> 80% done with the platform & built in Rails.
Was doing this while at Stanford, but school is overwhelming and I can't keep working on it. Really promising opportunity to build the first scalable custom web service company.
Rights to existing clients, brand, full code repository with $100k worth of development hours, portfolio, multiple domains, trademark, and tons of infrastructure to execute rapidly on projects.

We weren't really making any money ,so I sold out my half of the company to a business guy. My former dev partner then went on with the business guy to make it a half-million a year business with about 4 hours a week of maintenance work.
Of course, I truly believe it wouldn't have gone anywhere if we didn't bring in a business dev guy, and I can't see any reason in retrospect why I should have expected their business to do so well once I left, but...
Seller beware! :-)
I generate quite a lot of revenue for them from ads (about 500,000 hits per month), but they have so much potential and I don't have time to invest.

- 6000+ registered users - 26,000+ items entered - 3000+ documents saved - 500+ visits per month (Someone good in marketing can boost this)
It's an online home inventory software. It was featured on Lifehacker among other sites related to home organization. My wife and I had a baby last year so I never had time to market it properly. A lot of folks want an iPhone/Andoird app but I'm not the right person for that.
Someone good at marketing can probably have this take off. No other competitors are as easy to use as iKeepm.
Over 5k registered users, 3.8k monthly visits. I haven't had time for it in the past 2 years. I keep it around because it really helps people and that gives me a warm feeling :-). It could surely use someone with a heart for marketing. At least a few monetization options (cash could be gotten from users, caretakers, medical facilities, drug companies).
Thanks!

I have thousands of active users and have asked many of them whether they would be willing to pay, and they are. Unfortunately I just don't have the time now or for the foreseeable future to add a few highly requested features and billing systems for the product. This is an ideal product for someone to pick up, add a few of the really needed features, and start charging existing happy customers.

http://www.promotor.fm (currently only a landing page)
http://open.spotify.com/app/oyafestivalen (Spotify app for Norwegian festival Øyafestivalen)
The app is service agnostic, so it can be used with any streaming service. The only thing needed to add a new client is to create the frontend part, and link it to the back end APIs. Also, clients can add content from their own CMS and add it to the Promotor database through our APIs.
Currently there's only desktop support, but I'm working on adding mobile support for Android and iOS.
Product discovery for amazon-aholics. Don't have the money to invest in marketing right now, so I'm sitting on it till I have the capital and focusing on other projects.

Willing to sell for 30k or looking for investment partners in the $5k range.

It got some love here at one point [0]. Fraud, business model, and personal availability problems all struck at once, so I had to turn it off. I'm confident they could all be fixed.
This project takes screenshots of various URLs once a day. It's been a fun way to watch my side project grow up, and a number of other people receive daily emails. It could be an interesting business, but not really one I'd like to pursue.
Email "adam at cameralends" if you're interested in it.

Igor Knots and the Magonda Maze.
A mobile maze game inspired by Traffic Jam and/or Unblock me. Instead of moving items with your finger, you move a character (Igor Knots) and he must push items out of his way to clear the maze.
The game is on the Google Play Store, the Amazon App Store, and the Nook App Store. I also have a version that works on my iPhone / iPad, but never got around to uploading it to the Apple App Store. I also have the engine working in a browser.
The game got very little traction; but I never did anything to push it. The game comes with 50 levels, but I have an additional 50 designed.
I always wanted to expand the game to include more challenges and types of obstacles. But, I moved on to other things.
It was built w/ Flash/AIR.
Contact me here: http://www.jeffryhouser.com/contact.cfm
It does okay, gets about 40,000 unique pageviews per month. Analytics says about 60% of those are unique. I'm cleaning up the code right now and trying to figure out how to get a higher RPM.
I'm averaging about $100/month from this site. But I'm toying with selling it.
USP is our ambient sensing platform which shows you how much you've spent at a business, and your receipts for that place the moment you arrive there.
16K+ downloads and makes us about $50-100 per month (varies based on the month). Free app but Monetization is via in-app purchases (unlimited expense reports) and ads.
Expenses: $5 per month with a Digital Ocean droplet that hosts the website. Haven't had any maintenance issues and the app has been on auto-pilot mode for last 1 year.
With some repolish of the UI, this app has tremendous potential. A competing app with half the features but prettier UI ramped up to half-million downloads in 6 months.
If someone offers the right price, willing to sell it. Alternatively, also interested if someone wants to work with us on an iPhone app on an equity or rev-share basis.
It's something that I decided I don't have time for myself, but perhaps it could suit someone else.

It's a 100% anonymous blogging platform with a clean interface. Just start writing and set a password for your post so you can come back later and edit it. Stores literally zero information about the author. Has a stolen-from-svbtle voting system and a reply mechanism.
I believe it has potential because I left it untouched and came back a month later to find dozens of employees of the company OpenEnglish using it as a forum to discuss their issues with their employer and to anonymously coordinate action. They have no fear of ever being "found out" because I couldn't even tell you who wrote what.
Built in a week and I'd give it away for free to anyone who wants to move forward with it. I think it's a really great idea but I'm not sure where to take it.
Rainbow Shopping List ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chak.rainb... ) - Android app with 12k+ downloads and 2k+ active users - Cost to run: ~$6-7 (hosting + domain)
And a bunch of other apps. Check them out at https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Chak+Develop...
Just landed a new job so I don't think I'll have time to actively maintain these projects anymore.
You can reach me at hgcheah@chakdev.com
The project includes a Wordpress website to collect orders. The customers choose the features they would like from a 'menu' and then are given a price quote.
The project also includes 'base' iPhone and Android apps that are then customized to a customer's needs.
I haven't had the time to market the site very much but it would be a good opportunity for someone that has mobile app development background and the ability to market the site to the target market.
If you have any interest my contact info is in my profile.
* Highly engaged handful of clients * Fully automatic (demo accounts, paypal recurring payments, domain/mail purchase and association, etc.,) * Expenses ~50$ (hosting and providers) * Profits ~250$ / month (paying clients)
Website builder focused in easy of use, aiming to solve online presence for freelances and small businesses (website, email and domain).
Established since 2011, we have still some customers from the very beginning.
It's not exactly a side project, it has been an established business for the last 3 years, but we've struggled to grow it with no success.
Looking for someone that could take it to the next level.
Like Instagram, but for more privacy conscious users. It's ad-free so users have to pay a yearly fee for using the app similar to App.net. Has support for comments, likes, push notifications and live filters.
We couldn't market it properly and also people were not as willing to pay as we had expected so we want to sell it.
Includes the iPhone app, the fully responsive web app and the backend. Code can be reused to make any type of photo/selfie sharing app.
More details: https://www.sideprojectors.com/project/project/717/pixter
Includes a web backend which allows poems from the app to be shared on social networks. http://poets-anonymous.appspot.com
The app has good reviews and thousands of submitted poems in its database, backed by Parse.
Monetization is through ads and the sale of credits to submit poems beyond the 5 credits you get with the app. I have done 0 marketing so have not been able to see how far monetization can be taken - right now it's quite low.
I wish I had time to build it, but I don't. It's a simple idea, where we had moderately good execution and big ideas for the future. Future plans were to expand to Doodle Packs, with themed artwork (also for sale, perhaps).
The image detection code (doodle placement) was pretty hacky but functional. The app has about 10,000 downloads, maybe 1,000 active (close to 0 marketing). I envisioned updating it with new doodles, better image code, sharing options, etc, and re-launching in the next couple months...but realistically that probably won't happen. Maybe you could make it happen? :)
Was the #1 app for finding garage sales (~10,000 paid downloads and ~10,000 free / lite downloads), but my primary startup has taken off and I didn't have time to maintain.
There are some pretty interesting use cases left unexplored - e.g. social aspects or other verticals (apartment rentals).
If you're interested in making a serious offer hit me up at igaragesale [at] performantdesign [dot] com.
* Last month stats: ~2.5 million pageviews, 846,000 uniques.
* Highly engaged community with ~210k signed up users (all organically, 0 paid marketing) and 7 million pictures in db.
* Expenses ~$400 (hosting and outsourcing).
* Making ~$2k/mo profit, mainly from advertising and photo stock affiliates.
* Established since 2007, lots of SEO potential and very poorly monetized.
It's not exactly a side project, it has been our main business for the last 5 years, but we've got bored. We still believe it has a huge potential though so we're looking for someone who can take it to the next level.
It supports custom themes (there is just one for now) and more customization can be build upon it with little code.
I wrote it for a customer who wanted a simple portfolio website (just the pictures and some pages for textual information), so I made this CMS-like thing to edit the page and it could be marketed for more customers etc.
But I don't have any hope it will get a customer, so its interface is still uncomplete (and it is in portuguese), but it works (with a custom domain). What would you do with it?

Simple battle-tested assigned chart app for companies or venues to sell tickets to venues. At least $1m in sales has gone through it. I'll sell the code or the service for cheap, I don't have time to market it so it's just sitting there.
The coolest feature is that seat updates are "live" (using polling) to everyone, so none of that "you have 15 minutes to complete your order" crap you normally get when buying tickets. It's now a cross-platform HTML5/JS frontend, originally I made it in Flash.
btw should i open source it in the event i can not sell it? would it be worth to open source?
But hands down, it's one of the most refined web app of its sort.

It's a nonogram puzzle game and it made a fair amount of money on portal sites like Bigfishgames and Real Arcade. Since the market has changed a lot and it is not promoted any longer, it now only makes a couple of hundred dollars a month.
Initially we intended to release a sequel and even created great new levels. Since our other software business is quite time consuming, we haven't worked on the game since 2008.
Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage.
Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search, alerts, posting limits) rather than charge for a group, since they would just run to FB then.
We're talking on a social sharing tool that shows those using it how many people actually see what they share. We've pushed it for some time, and today it's installed on more than 25,000 sites.
We're selling it via SideProjector (BTW, for those here who said there has to be a site for selling side projects..) : https://www.sideprojectors.com/project/project/709/kejek-soc...
A very basic android game (no ads or purchases inside it) with about 400 downloads per day, 15k current installs. I know there's not much monetization potential but it could drive steady traffic somewhere. You could totally redo it and get some automatic ranking in the store. I would use the money to pay for college which is coming up in about 18 months.
I built this for fun while playing around with the Murmur API and thought about offering premium upgrades, in addition to the free tier.
- Only about 1.5k visitors/month for the last 6 months since launch
- About 5GB in Mumble traffic/day
- Built to scale, but only costs about $15/month to keep running so far, including 2 Mumble server instances (US West/East). Thinking about adding more locations.

Its still the only tool to my knowledge that doesn't use flash and works on mobile.
I've paused my work on http://stafet.com/ (a marketer/salesperson meet developer/sideproject/startup) site bc. not having enough time, but the people I've talked to about the concept were also really interested in a site that handles this kind of connection.
Note: the site is on a dev-server on PagodaBox, which means it needs to boot up (takes 15-20 seconds) explaining the load time.
This is an online code editor I made but im not improving it any further until it shows some interest.
Some features:
work directly from your server through FTP code autocompletion split windows infinitely save sessions that remember your files and layout built in file explorer with Unix-y commands tools to aid on web development vim and emacs keyboard mode very customizable appearance
Also if you want to sell your assets of your side projects(if it reached the start-up state) you can use the http://shutdown.io/ (which was posted before few weeks on HN)

The most popular listing of free bitcoin websites for new bitcoin users. It contains several affiliate links, and generates a bit of revenue each month. Not hard to maintain, but I'm occupied with other things, so wouldn't mind selling for a bit of cash to free up some personal time.

The heart of the site is the Meme and GIF generators, best on the net if you ask me ;). Pro subscriptions are the biggest source of revenue. I'm not sure I would say "want to sell", but I spend most of my time on a much larger project/team, so I don't give it the attention it deserves. For that reason, I would be glad to see someone (or a team) who wanted to build it out much more.
