This is something I had to put together from scratch to cope with working across any type of backend programming language when I was doing ecommerce web apps to enable customers to edit their websites very easily and flexibly.

KitGUI is a content management SAAS that runs off of Amazon S3 for content storage and plugs into any backend. Editing is accomplished on the customer's website directly through a JS plugin. It makes a little money but more as an adjunct to existing products. I would also be open to working on this seriously if there was investor interest but there is a hell of a lot of CMS systems out there. It is very sturdy because it runs off of Amazon S3 for all the content serving.

I won Yahoo!'s international student programming competition in 2009 with this site. About a year ago it stopped working because of deprecated PHP functions. It had/has quite a few users but I've been too busy to fix it up. It could use a more nurturing home.

Have you thought about putting it up on Github and asking people for help? Seems like a good site that could use a community behind it.

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…

Similar case for me. I spent a long time on this but never followed through with marketing. It's a web app for English language learners:
