http://json-porn.com Well known API for adult content, hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. 0 seconds down time since about a year. Profitable.

I was searching for something like that.

Is the content itself scraped?

I didn't get many leads to keywords like rimming and rimjob, or they were irrelevant. For actresses it's perfect.

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…

Interesting. May I ask where the data comes from and who owns the copyright? You could also drop me an email, contact is on my profile page.

Written in Django, got some HN love a while ago - no signups for a while now but we have over 500 accounts that signed up at some point. About 20 sprang for the "Pro" version at $10/month. We even had a customer pay $50/month for an API version integrated directly into their site.

It's used to have your customers send their browser details directly to your inbox. Just point them at your site such as http://example.browser-details.com (CNAMEs with custom domain possible).

Created to scratch our own itch: previously, most of our customer would be hard-pressed to name their browser version so it was very helpful in development. Uses an external API to map the user agent string to browser make/version.

Interesting trades considered. ;-)

It's not making any revenue so any offer will be considered. It's a tool for helping inexperienced founders avoid common mistakes when starting a business with someone, both legally and in terms of making sure you're on the same page. Did it after getting very burned on a business venture because of this.

Got retweeted by some TechCrunch writer and also got to the frontpage (I think) of ProductHunt a while back. But I never got the time to get the product to where I wanted it to be (pay a $49 fee to get a good legally binding agreement based on the data you provided that you can just download, print and sign, and avoid problems and lawyer fees) nor market it properly (I also think it would be great to partner up with people who organize hackatons etc).

I launched this a few years ago with great success (>$100k in a single day), but despite the content being highly valued by the folks that have gone through it, I've had a hard time getting it in front of people. It's very profitable, but I just don't have the time nor the marketing acumen to really take it to the next level.
