https://www.twitteraudit.com Estimates fake Twitter followers for any account. Helps users find and block fake followers (coming soon). >100k visitors per month (45% returning). >1M users audited and over 500k users signed-up. Some revenue ($12k/year).

Why does it want permission to post from my account?

We recently changed the permission to introduce the "pro" blocking feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to get "write" perms in a more granular way. The app doesn't actually post anything though.

http://www.secretsantagenerator.net Lets people organize secret santa gift exchanges via e-mail, including rules about who can buy for who. At its peak in the holiday season, gets about 10k uniques per day. Close to a million people have used it since launch in 2011. Very easily monetizable - just provide affiliate link gift recommendations. I had intentions of doing this so many times but just never followed through…

Looks interesting . Have you generate any revenue from it yet?

How can I contact you ?

http://www.wpcommandcontrol.com Managed WordPress updates, backups, uptime alerts, security scans, performance tracking, etc I use this every day personally, but don't have the time / energy / resources to market it beyond my immediate network. Currently manages ~100 "real" accounts and I've spun up 15k dummy sites on occasion for load testing without issues.

I'd be interested in operating this with you. I see the appeal and have my own customer-base that would definitely want this type of product.

https://achshar.com/school/about

A cms for schools and colleges, lets students, parents, teachers, staff, etc log in and view/add student attendance, homework, assignments, datesheet, exam result, generate report card, view/manage student and teacher data, lecture timetable, send SMS/email newsletters, get different printouts with different set of data columns and a bunch of other stuff that I am probably forgetting about. I made/maintain it myself. I have 4 paying customers (schools). Revenue isn't much but whatever it is, it's all for myself, not have to pay anything forward other than hosting which is like 2500 rupees / year (37 dusd/year).

I might consider parting ways with http://www.LiberWriter.com if the right person were interested. It currently has revenue and doesn't require much of my time, so it's not urgent for me. Someone who is willing to take good care of existing customers is important too.

http://westoncb.com/projects/tiledtext

A new form of text editor designed from the ground up for lower precision input devices (e.g. motion sensors, touch screens). Demo video at the url above.

I had issues using mouse and keyboard and gave up programming for six years until the concept behind this hit me. The actual software is an engine/framework for producing particular text editors (I figured I'd need to extend it to in a similar manner to Emacs, so that I could efficiently do, e.g., command line things too). It could also be configured to edit natural language documents for text editing on e.g. mobile devices and VR.

Editing and navigating documents is done, and there's a system built, but not yet attached to the UI, that is effectively a universal autocomplete: you give it an EBNF grammar for some language and it can list all grammatically valid options (that you could insert) from any point in a document. (I'm thinking of extracting and open sourcing that part. Not sure yet, though.)

I worked on it for a year and half, had an increase in medical bills and had to work more—haven't touched it much for a couple years. The copy on the website is oold.
