http://VisualizeUs.com - social bookmarking for pictures.

* 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.

Built with RoR, running on Amazon. Needs a few tweaks otherwise sits there running happily. It meets the needs of a niche and is steadily growing in users / mailing list size. (About 1600 now).

You'll find my email address in my profile if interested.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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. :)

what do you run it on?

It's all front-end JavaScript running on the free AppEngine tier. Basically just static file hosting.

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.

For commercial apps one needs to buy data. Personal projects can use free data from some websites. I have ideas (and others' suggestions) to improve the UI of the app, but decided to pursue other directions.

Video Mirchi - Bollywood music videos

http://videomirchi.com

Website and android application. It's the best way to listen to indian music videos without getting lost in youtube.

Launched about 1.5 years ago and has been growing steadily since. It's fully automated and new songs get automatically added so I don't have to spend a lot of time on it. I do keep updating the app every now and then.

https://ceti.us - a crypto currency market analytics site I've been working on slowly for about 6 months. The analytics are inspired by physical modeling. I'm a full time aerospace engineering and astrophysics student that will be starting a PhD next year. The website could be monetized but I haven't the slightest clue about the best way to do that, nor do I have the time to figure it out. I literally only make improvements to the site out of necessity when my BTC growth plateaus...

Stats: Note: If you sign up for it, not all features are available to new users.

I'm also open to taking on rapid programming contracts if you need something built in the span of a few days. However, it'll have to wait a few weeks until finals are over.

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…
