insidertrades.org. 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.

That's a pretty good idea. I've had a few people ask over the years how it's done, and I uploaded the original source code a few years ago. Although I could probably fix up the site faster than I could properly move it over to Github...

A few years ago I co-started http://www.bitcoinpulse.com. I had to take it down last year after running out of time to deal with it, but I've recently brought back a simplified version.

While the traffic is insignificant at the moment, I'd like to believe that the brand is still strong and a small push could revive the traffic.

The twitter account https://twitter.com/bitcoinpulse has a small following - there are a few known people from the bitcoin community (but the vast majority seem like "bot" accounts).

It's written in clojure/script and hosted on heroku.

I'll take offers in bitcoin (obviously). Any interested parties can email me at info@bitcoinpulse.com

http://www.sysadminsoftware.com I made this tool like 5 years ago, to scratch my own itch as a I was a sysadmin in charge of securing thousands of machines. Those days are gone now and I currently have no time for this. The tool still works. To be honest I have not advertised it at all. I made sales only from people landing on the website through google search.

http://mskr.co

I wrote a (free) simple super-basic photo editing app natively for iOS, Android and Windows Phone and have over half a million downloads. It has been a good resume piece, but I don't have time to work on it anymore.

I also wrote mrgr (also on mskr.co) a similarly simple video editing app for iOS. Less downloads, but I'd throw it in if anyone wanted to buy either.

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…

also interested potentially. cant see an email in your profile though.

https://freeyourmusic.com - songs mover across different music streaming services (eg. Spotify -> Apple Music). It makes around 20k$ in revenue but I am focusing now on something else.

Hi, I'm interested. Can you let me know how much you are planning to sell it for. My email ken.tms@outlook.com. Thanks.

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.

What is the best place to discuss this with you?
