Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?

#1
A thread similar to this was posted ~1 year ago by gillis . I think it's time for an updated 2015 version and I am on the market for a website/product, possibly in the security space.

If you have any side projects that you've built and that you no longer have time for, list them here and let's see if others want to buy it from you.

I have tried to find a new owner for https://cheergram.com/ on and off this year.

Cheergram does printed Instagram products. Main product is Christmas cards. Have had good press and have good SEO ranking for "Instagram Christmas Cards".

Backend is a Rails app on Digital Ocean. Payments via Stripe. Printing is done by a Denver-based pro lab and drop-shipped (US only). You could likely find a lower-cost printer if you're so inclined.

Gross sales since launching in Nov 2012: $4,461.55 (Traffic and sales spike between black friday and new years) https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqipziq13s6eqd7/cg-traffic.png?dl=...

The right person could probably add some products and marketing know-how and do pretty well with this. (Think cards for other occasions like wedding invites or print subscriptions).

If you're interested, drop me an email and I can walk you through the details.

http://www.startuputility.com

Gets around 1500 visitors a week. I haven't touched it since November. Hosted on Heroku, Play Framework, S3 to host the images.

Probably a cool use case for it if someone wanted to invest more time in it. I'm pretty busy working on other things I'm more interested in.

If interested, shoot me an email.

BroApp - Your Clever Relationship Wingman

http://broapp.net/

Fun side project that blew up with world-wide media attention last year. Intro video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_2zr5EYbDk. On Jimmy Fallon tonight show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTf7g59LQ_Y.

Working on other projects and not really interested in building out more functionality / monetizing.

Looking to sell all source code (Android + iOS), domain, US trademark on BroApp, email lists, etc. Facebook newsfeed cost-per-install is ~$0.21 with a lookalike audience built off our install base.

I would consider selling my side project/business - http://flextory.com . It's a web based data management system with a focus on features for handling inventory. I went pretty far with it and have some active customers to this day. It's just no longer what I soak time into. I've considered turning it into an open source project, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Running Flextory has been an amazing experience for me though. It's kind of my baby. It would be hard to part with, but I'd consider it.

I've been considering building a similar side-project for a while. Well done :)
