http://guildbit.com/ - Free, temporary, 10-slot Mumble servers for the gaming community

I built this for fun while playing around with the Murmur API and thought about offering premium upgrades, in addition to the free tier.

- Only about 1.5k visitors/month for the last 6 months since launch

- About 5GB in Mumble traffic/day

- Built to scale, but only costs about $15/month to keep running so far, including 2 Mumble server instances (US West/East). Thinking about adding more locations.

http://instantserver.io Provisions you an ubuntu vm instantly for free with web terminal access. It got some love here at one point [0]. Fraud, business model, and personal availability problems all struck at once, so I had to turn it off. I'm confident they could all be fixed. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5861749

Interested in talking about how we can get this one back online, or perhaps I can take over the project? Email me.

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…

Have you open sourced the editor? It looks great!

http://www.learnpython.org + the rest of my tutorials I generate quite a lot of revenue for them from ads (about 500,000 hits per month), but they have so much potential and I don't have time to invest.

Hey Ron, interested in the site details and seeing if we can work out a deal. Please email me traffic stats and revenue info

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.

Please email me traffic details and more info. Would be very interested in taking over, or working with you, on this project to grow it to that next level.

I created a project called http://customlawyerapps.com. The site allows law firms and attorneys to create iPhone and Android apps for their business.

The project includes a Wordpress website to collect orders. The customers choose the features they would like from a 'menu' and then are given a price quote.

The project also includes 'base' iPhone and Android apps that are then customized to a customer's needs.

I haven't had the time to market the site very much but it would be a good opportunity for someone that has mobile app development background and the ability to market the site to the target market.

If you have any interest my contact info is in my profile.

Startup Threads Monthly - https://www.startupthreads.com/monthly

200 subscribers (another ~100 that are delinquent but could be reactivated). With some marketing effort and the right company connections can make you $4-5k / month in profit within a few months.

Love the editor GUI. Are you using a framework for that, or did you code it yourself?

It's hallo.js plus Foundation CSS, not my work!

The editor is hallo.js, not my work at all and already open source. If you want to know more about it ask me on the alumNY group :)
