This is my brand new project: http://metrics11.com/ It helps you find profitable keywords niches you can use on your site to get free traffic from Google. It shows you how many people search for given term per month in chosen country, what is competition for that term, and other metrics like trends or domains availability. We focus mostly on competitors metrics. I think it is the most comprehensive keyword research tool on the market right now. Try the demo on the front page.

#152https://coderpad.io is a SaaS product I built that provides the highest fidelity experience out there currently for interviewing other programmers over the phone. I got to my current rev with a mix of self service plans and enterprise deals.
I use coderpad.io for remote pair programming interviews. Great work!

#153My mobile app, Routesy ( http://routesy.com ), falls into this category through a combination of sales of the paid version and advertising in the free version. It was one of the first 500 apps in the App Store when it launched in 2008 and has been pretty consistent in its earnings ever since then.
Thanks for Routesy, I use it most days. :)

#154http://rebrickable.com - a LEGO database that does some number crunching and tells you what you can build by combining parts from all your sets. Lots of user submitted content that is also searched and can be built, everything with instructions.
Awesome site! :-) Is most of your revenue from affiliate marketing of Lego items (most obvious one)?

#158I built and sell a collection of plugins for the Delphi IDE at http://www.twodesk.com . (Yes, people still use Delphi), for a consistent single-digit multiple of $1K each month.
I was developing primarily in Delphi for 5 years, took a year off, and now doing it on a the side again a little bit. It's not SO bad mumble mumble mumble

Good on you! Curious to know how do you market & promote the app, considering that project management is a very competitive/saturated market segment?
It's very difficult and I'm still figuring it out, but I get a decent amount of traffic from the free version http://getsoloapp.com .
Freemium model almost always works best! Best of luck
