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…
You're the developer I want to be someday. I realize that may sound weird. I'm ok with it.

Hey Andrey, I was a paid member of SocialGrapple before it got acquired by Google, what has happened to it now?
Unfortunately not much happened with it. I joined Google to work on an in-house social analytics product, but most of it never launched. I've since left Google so I don't know what's going on in that department anymore.
I'm working on https://briefmetrics.com/ now, which is vaguely in the same space as SocialGrapple, sans the social for now. :) I'm considering introducing some social metrics into the email reports someday. I'm also working on splitting up the pieces of the project so that most of it can be open sourced and thereby guaranteeing some kind of continuity for loyal customers.
I made http://www.cliffchat.com/ a couple of years ago. It's a place where college/university students get their questions answered, answer others questions, and help each other out. In a way, a stackoverflow for students.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is awesome. I was actually thinking of making a custom deck for my friends, but it would have been too time-consuming. But now... Maybe you could start charging a modest sum for downloading the complete PDF file? I know I would totally pay for that.
That's not a bad idea. Wish there was more time to give it the love it needs.
I've always kicked around the idea of selling Tubalr, if anyone's interested shoot me an email(cjstewart88@gmail.com with an offer. - URL: http://www.tubalr.com - Age: 3 1/2 years - Cost to run: $9 - Registered Users: 28,009 - It's been wrote about on sites like mashable, techcrunch, fast company, the next web, etc. .. it's been on the front page of hackernews and reddit. Google for "tubalr" to read around the web. -…
Would love some funding, or for someone to take it over and help out with student loans.
Have you had any luck trying to sell it?
http://www.uptimebot.com - I bought the domain that has plenty of backlinks, etc.. re-branded it and have failed to actually launch it.
http://www.backlink.org - Cool domain with an interesting business model idea/plan but no development done here yet.
The Big Eat http://www.thebigeat.com Menu and takeaway listings (mainly in the UK). Makes around $6,000 per year of Adsense. It's been fairly untouched since I started it in 2006. Has good pagerank for a lot of takeaway names. Costs are a Digital Ocean Droplet @ $5 a month = $60 per year.
I'm curious: how did you get over the chicken-and-egg problem when you launched this? How did you seed it with restaurant menus in order to attract your first users? Was there (and when?) a tipping point when you had enough eyeballs that restaurants started to add their own menus?
At some point I'll write a blog post about this. I still have virtually zero engagement with takeaway owners.
