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?

https://www.browser-details.com 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 you…

Hello, I'm interested. Can you please get in contact with me at atteeela@gmail.com? Thank you! -A

A bunch of .it domains with exhausted, failed or never started projects: bestapps (formerly a web magazine, now a never happening apps recommender system); databot (now a landing page for a local business); jobsud + jobcentro + jobnord (an empty job board, not starting because of a break up with the sectoral partner). Getting rid in order to focus on my primary nuclearresearch.net. Anyone going for the full batch of five .it?

https://breaker101.com/ 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.

Surprised that this is one here. Curious- how many folks are helping you run this? I'd love to chat about how my skills / experiences (sales, marketing) can help you out. Email me [hn_username]@gmail.com so we can talk.

One of the original websites for sharing office space. I used to have Google display ads on there, but since removed so revenue is zilch.

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.

It's just me on this one. Honestly, I'm happy with how much it's bringing in at this point ($1-2k/mo, with the occasional jump up if a company sends their whole team through) and not looking to put any more time into it. Outside of a few hours a week in reviewing coursework/exams and helping students, it's really just pure profit for me, but I think that someone else could do a lot more with it than I can (or am willing to).

Developed a solution (File System Filter Driver) to prevent ransomware from encrypting users' files. It's 70% done but I have recently accepted a position at a company and will not have time to build a full fledged product. I have tested it against major ransomware variants and it has proved very effective. I am looking to license either object or source code.
