I finished my first ever website prototype, nothing special, minimum file processing. But I did not deploy it, I tried first to put the domain on sale on SEDO and they suggest I should sell it for over 10k for it. But I also searched other domain extensions using the same one word, and those are also worth over 10k, so its hard to believe that the domain is really valuable. In a week I got 100 views.

I don't really want to sell, but nor do I have the strength to continue right now. I'm on a break, for as long as I want.

http://choosejarvis.com -- social media scheduling tool with content recommendations powered by buzzsumo. 1k MRR steady for the past 6 months or so. Written in PHP. Very stable. would sell in a heartbeat for 50k and would consider lower offers.

How do you manage to get the posts from Facebook? I thought they shut down their public API - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/public_feed

I would love to sell my portfolio on themeforest. Making about $100k/year in profit (after all expenses e.g. Hosting, support personnel etc...) and has been steadily growing for the last 2-3 years. I am just tired of theme development and want to do something else. I work about 4 hours a week to fix some small bugs from time to time and pretty much that's it. Contact hn@pinsupreme.com

I built a basic YouTube clone in Erlang that I currently only use in my home network. I've often wondered how much I could make if I came up with some flashy logo and name and tried to monetize it.

Allow people to white label your YT clone and charge subscription fees monthly or for PPV. Let sports team etc sell the rights to their content directly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does imgfave make any money? Surprised to hear it's a YC company. I remember it.

Yup, YC S12. It does, but it's hard to cover CDN costs these days. CDN costs have gone up, mostly due to gifs, and ad rates have fallen over the past few years. Never quite got to the size where I could do direct brand deals for higher CPMs.

You are using google cloud storage? That's very expensive (as is cloudfront) since they charge for requests. Try KeyCDN/maxCDN/edgecast (via a reseller) which doesn't charge for requests and with cheaper bandwidth pricing
