We (me a and a friend) built https://board.creonomy.com a visual bookmarking/inspiration organization tool for visual creative professionals, some of them are teams within big corporations that want to pay for the product because they got burned by free stuff such as Pinterest. It is on autopilot. Triple digits paying customers. It also raised an angel investment (that for reasons we can elaborate about if interested, we turned down). A new, better version with much more features and more polished UI is 95% done on my dev machine. Definitely looking forward to someone with the time and drive to make it bigger.

#112https://enboard.co - a web app where you can create "boards" filled with links Some examples of such boards: • https://enboard.co/web/ • https://enboard.co/frontend/ • https://enboard.co/webdesign/ • https://enboard.co/startup/ It'd be willing to hand it to someone (on partnership basis) who could maintain it and grow it. Stack is Linode/Ubuntu/Python/Django/Sass.
Why does it pop up something about another site? What is ggather and why do I want to "Be first to gain access to GGather alpha release"?

#113I've been making a podcast discovery app, it's not live yet but the latest home page screenshot is http://imgur.com/a/Bkn7Y (basically: Trending topics, Recommendations (based on social media profile and listening history, subscribed shows, and iTunes charts), and instant search of over 4.5 million episodes across more than 60 thousand shows.) I may not be able to keep going on it though because of constraints on tim…
Interesting! Cool idea.. I'm curious to where you got all the podcast data?
Got the Show info from iTunes charts feeds, then parsed the Show feeds for Episode info :)

#114I have a gamification platform like https://badgeville.com/ that we've worked on some time ago. It was like 70 percent done.
this looks more like a company than a side project? The blog says the company has already been acquired by another big company...so how can you sell it?
He states that his project was "like" badgeville.com, not that it "was" badgeville.com :)

#115http://octave.im/
Web IDE for GNU Octave (open source Matlab alternative). Originally built it because Octave had no UI and installation was a pain. It was heavily used by Machine Learning Coursera students and currently just pays for its hosting.
I'm sure it could be useful in niche academia market, but don't have time/connections to pivot. NodeJS/React/PostgreSQL/websockets. Email address on the home page.

#116Yes. A fully automated business for 3D prints of ultrasound scans in glass cubes. The USP is that you upload a low res scan (most doctors don't want to give you access to the full 3d data) whereupon it does image processing to create a 3d point cloud which it puts into a reverse engineered laser engraving format. If payment is processed on the bundled website it then sends the engraving file and delivery sheet to a s…
Sounds like one of those things that is awesome at the time (everything related to a new baby is), but more like something that will freak you out and make you think 'why!!' a few years down the line.

#117I've built a couple of App Store & GPlay apps that I am not actively developing or marketing anymore due to lack of time. I believe they have good potential and the ideas can be reused to create similar experiences but you need to invest more time and resources. Prefer to sell but I am open to discuss any interesting options.
- Really Funny Fish Aquarium is a game where kids click on moving fish, who make funny noises and movements [1][2]
- Fun Kids Activities is an app where me and my wife used to post one activity you can do with kids every day with a notification but it turned out it to be quite time consuming for us so we just listed all activities and removed the notifications. [3][4]

#118I got servpaid.com which is a front end for Stripe payments.
It needs a lot of work done, I only got a few clients. I really don't know what to do with it... suggestions?

#119I'd be willing to sell tournamentmaps.com - displays tennis tournament information on a google map. I created this when my kids played but they are older now. Data is scraped yearly from the source and map links to source web site. PHP/MySql
