Have you set a price? Not sure how to monetize it but I like your traffic stats.

My side project is http://storifi.it I dont have the time to work on it anymore, but i'd still like to see it do well. Would prefer to discuss a large controlling interest rather than a complete sale for reasons i'm happy to discuss. Contact mastermind at storifi.it

Just so you know, the buttons don't work for me. Chrome v33 on Mavericks. They're blank green until you hover over them. Also the logo does the same.

Didn't know that. Thanks so much.

http://www.ulmusoft.com Prosper Stocks -- best visual stock screener for iPad in my opinion, and investment portfolio performance study tool. My interest shifted away from stock market and would like to sell this app.

I was also thinking about creating a stock screener but don't know where to get market data. Where do you get yours? Thank you!

I think your app could be better with some UX/UI re-thinking.

www.blogmask.com 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 OpenEng…

I'm not in a position to buy it, but have to say that i love the concept and i'd definitely use it.

I've been looking for exactly this just this week.

Website Screenshots: http://www.bitpixels.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.

If you don't sell it, please open source this. :-)

How do you make money from it right now?

I don't yet. I needed a service like this a while ago and the existing ones were too expensive for my level of traffic, so I built one and then decided to open it up to others as well. That was years ago and it grew over time. I never got around to building a payment system for it. It was always something I wanted to do but never had enough free time to do it.

How do you make money on Chain Reaction?

Any free app either has in-app purchases or advertisements. This app has both(you can just look at the app store listing and see this).

As Igglyboo mentioned, both advertisements and in-app purchases.
