http://www.meetifyr.com/ - been around for 6 years, haven't touched the code in years, gets around 3k page views and 100 active events a month. http://www.bookmarks.io/ - working but mothballed. http://convenely.com - current project, no traffic yet.

What problem you are solving with convenely? Isn't SMS an alternative solution? Also, does it update my calendar?

Basically the same problem as my other site Meetifyr - a group of people figuring out which day to do something on. Everyone votes on which days work best from them. The difference for Convenely is the calendar view and every event has it's own mailing list. It doesn't update your calendar.

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

I'd be interested in seeing the back end code? What was it written in?

All in Meteor! Servers are ec2 spots.

Ocean Commotion: an iPad game with unique multi-touch game play. The graphics are great, but I have no clue how to market, and I am not getting the downloads I am looking for. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ocean-commotion/id518629974?...

I would be interested in helping you to market it for a share in revenue.

Great! Send me an email: chris@tactitionprogramming.com

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...

You're the developer I want to be someday.

I realize that may sound weird. I'm ok with it.

Out of interest, how is briefmetrics doing? Its a good concept, and nice clean report structure

Thanks!

The fundamental product I wanted to build is done, so it basically runs itself while I do business development and sales. Eventually I'll need to dive back into the code to add more features I have on the roadmap, but I work best when I "switch modes" for spans of several weeks at a time so it may be a while. :)

The current revenue is about $250/mo. I've been trying to focus more on agencies with many clients and offering them custom-branded whitelabel emails reports for their customers. Making some progress on that end.

At the same time, as you can tell, I kind of have a habit of doing other random projects on the side, so things take longer than they should. :)

Have you tried selling these on http://flippa.com

Nope. I feel Flippa is better for high-value domains and highly-ranked content sites. I don't feel that web applications get valued appropriately.
