I wrote a very popular iOS animation program, FlipBook, and a friend wrote a companion Django-based website, flipbook.tv. Then I hired a group to write an iPad version, FlipBook HD. I also own all the legal rights worldwide to the trademark FlipBook for mobile animation software. I've just been too busy to update it, so I'd be up for selling it. You can reach me on twitter (@joshanon) or via joshanon.com (there's a contact form).

For those who might be interested, I run a website called SideProjectors. https://www.sideprojectors.com It's a marketplace where you can post and sell your side projects to those who might be interested. Also a few months ago, there was a post regarding "tips on selling your side projects" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12254484

Cool project! I can't open results links in a new tab, so it's hard to browse through the site :(

Reproduce: CMD+Click any project.

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…

What is it written in?

Rails 4 + Postgres on Linode

Looks interesting . Have you generate any revenue from it yet? How can I contact you ?

http://wordsafety.com I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered. The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases. I can also throw in…

It seems like you could get at least a little monetization by combining it with a domain registration affiliate program. The BabyNameCheck could also link to name popularity data to find names that aren't too common but also not too rare. Monetize with Amazon links to baby products.

Good ideas! Does someone want to take this site off my hands and try these?

I have a project where I "reverse engineered" this world class poker bot: http://www.slumbot.com. I have something akin to a "what would slumbot do?" API where you can enter the parameters for a heads up poker situation (hole cards, aggression, etc.) and get back a decision. It's far from perfect (and the code is a mess) but it worked surprisingly well in practice. I don't have time to work on it since I've started a new job and online heads up poker is kind of dead at low stakes but it might be useful to someone? Drop me an email via my profile if you're interested.

I'm interested in selling http://www.seasonalysis.com. The site has been around for over 4 years and has a wealth of seasonal market data. We have subscriptions ranging from $50/month to $5000/year with several at the top membership tier. I think with the right marketing campaign and site content it could be quite lucrative but I just don't have the time.
