http://www.pajap.com/ Create android native mobile apps from your web browser instantly. (No HTML apps 100% native). From prototyping (drag n drop) to a 100% working app It's up for sale :)

Fun idea - unfortunately, at least in Chrome, the experience is broken. Buttons aren't linked up, only a few templates exist, etc.

Sneaky. You made yourself a list of free ideas right here.

Open for the wider Hacker News community to see as well though?

I wrote a document management software for students, DocMan ( https://docman.me ). The software's ready and awesome, unfortunately I'm not a business guy so I never tried to make money out of it. I'm nearly graduated, and after that I guess I will just have it running for the bunch of users signed up for free. Let me know if you're interested. (Consists out of web app, iOS- and Android app.)

Looks really good. Why don't you offer a 30 day free trial and then charge a monthly or yearly fee. If you don't try to make money out of it, you won't make money out of it.

Because it's not that easy: Who do I charge? The one person who signs up is able to create accounts in a private environment, e.g. for his fellow students, so this one is most likely the one to charge. This person would most likely be the class representative student. But I don't think this one is willing to pay money for all his fellow students using DocMan in his private environment, so.. that's the circle. The software was initially build for being used by a whole university, but as those in Germany are mostly broke or not willing to pay money for anything or both, I also cannot charge these. You see?

http://www.rankique.com/ is a price-tracking site for Amazon. It would probably need a renaming and some SEO-love, as it's currently generating about 5$/month (with zero time spent on it). Was once supposed to evolve into a better product search engine, but I've lost interest a while ago (except for personal use, it really can save a lot of money).

I'm interested in this, but I don't see your email on your profile (I don't see any emails, actually). Is HN actually publishing the emails? I have vague recollections of that being turned off at some point.

I'd entertain offers for http://rss.io (including all the stuff with it like code and the Twitter account @rss). I have a full Google Reader-esque reader built and basically ready to deploy (billing code etc. included), but I likely don't really have time to maintain it/get it properly setup anytime soon. :( E-mail me if you're interested, but keep in mind I've invested a good bit of time and capital in this thing. O…

I built http://remindeat.com a couple of months ago as an experiment with my girlfriend and seems like people really liked it. I might still build a mobile app for it. I also recently built http://feedleap.com which really launched off by itself with Kippt's popularity.

http://isitnormal.com - Active community. > 1M visitors a month. A bit of recurring revenue from premium subscriptions and from ads. Lots of untapped potential here. I just don't have the time to give it the attention it deserves anymore. Custom python/django code, running very efficiently on AWS. Email me if you're interested in buying. Thanks.

Filmpage (https://www.filmpage.com). Inspired by Louis CKs digital distribution, I built Filmpage to enable other artists to create a similar page to publish and sell their film with a simple website builder. Was accepted in to a top incubator to go at it full-time, had to turn it because of a prior engagement. Email in my profile.
