I have a bunch of projects I built up which I consider "done" as far as I'm concerned, but at the same time they're basically free to run (AppEngine in the free tier) so I'm always reluctant to sell... I do wish there were people who wanted to take one of these and build them out to the "next level". - http://www.tweepsect.com/ - Gets 300,000~600,000 pageviews per month (about 1/6 uniques), makes a couple hundred buc…

How much are you selling tweepsect for?

http://www.curate.im - content curation and discovery platform. It lets users create, share, and discover lists of links on whatever topic they want, to help people organise useful stuff and save people from having to trawl through search engine results for good links about stuff. Log in with the username 'test' and password 'test' to see the user dashboard etc :)

It's free to run, requires 0% maintenance or effort, and brings in money every month. Send me an email with a tempting offer and we'll talk. :)

I really like this idea. What are your thoughts on monetization of this and getting more users on board?

I'm selling RearView (www.rearviewapp.com), and android app which is similar to the Frontback app. It's been online for about 5 months and there are 11.000 registered users and 2800 uploaded photos. I haven't added any sort of monetization strategy (no free/premium version and also no ads). The only cost that it has is a fixed $20 per month of hosting on DigitalOcean.

http://unfriend.io - Facebook application with over 8000 monthly users, ~1000 who use it every day.

How does this work? I just tried clicking through and it returned a list of friends who added me.

If there was no list of people who deleted me, does that mean it hasn't happened? Was it working properly?

https://www.chemical.io/ - Lab management made easy

Chemical.io is a free cloud based lab management system that lets you catalogue chemicals using a smartphone and automatically re-order chemicals when running low.

It's an excellent domain and the software is very polished so it would be a great investment for prospective buyers.

I'm also open to offers on http://www.libramatic.com/. It's a cloud based library cataloging solution that lets you catalog books by scanning the ISBN using a smartphone's camera. It's currently in use in over 1,000 libraries and has a number of paying customers on monthly and yearly subscriptions.

Feel free to hit me up at s@chemical.io
