Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage.

Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search, alerts, posting limits) rather than charge for a group, since they would just run to FB then.

http://RVmenu.com is hotels.com for RV rentals. High conversion rate but very little traffic. Needs lots of SEO love.

This project takes screenshots of various URLs once a day. It's been a fun way to watch my side project grow up, and a number of other people receive daily emails. It could be an interesting business, but not really one I'd like to pursue.

Email "adam at cameralends" if you're interested in it.

http://warsocial.com HTML5 game similar to risk. Rails/Angular/Redis/Heroku Took over two years to build. Now it just needs a bunch of players. Monetization isn't built in yet but it's ready for it.

This is just KDice, is it not?
