Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's it written in? Pretty fast! Also browsing through it I don't even see your ads?

It's PHP on Yii Framework, with quite a bit of page caching. I do love Rails, but I miss the kickarse performance of PHP. Ads are there, are you sure you don't have adblock on?

Oh stupid me...just installed AdBlock this morning.

http://custardapp.com/ Simple, real time design feedback. Uses websockets for real time design review collaboration. I've spent the past 6 months working on it and got it in a very releasable state, unfortunately I don't have the time/expertise to get it out there. Contact via email.

Nice! What's your tech stack?

It's got a NodeJS (Coffescript) backend and uses socket.io for real time communication with a Coffeescript frontend. Projects/Users are stored in MongoDB. I'd happily go into more detail if anyone is interested

Recently finished, wasn't built to make money (affiliates seem like a good fit to monetize it). Am now moving on to other things.

Seeing as tho it doesn't make any money I'm willing to entertain all offers.

http://PlayByLyrics.com - Searches and finds music by entering some songtext, possibly combined with the artist, album or song name. I'm also thinking of selling this to companies like Grooveshark, Spotify, or a lyrics website. I really like the website myself and use it a lot, but it doesn't get a lot of traffic. It has some potential though, I'm quite sure of that, and if I ever continue serious development there'l…

One thing I noticed is you should try to check the length of the target video - I got a 1-hour-long mashup of songs. I'm wondering what the algorithm for this is - "Reddit" got me a rickroll, "4chan" got me a Pokemon/Belair mashup, "Hacker News" got me Lil Wayne. ...actually, you gave me an idea.

Thanks for the notice, I wrote it down to implement in future versions :)

I never tested it with things like reddit, 4chan or HN. It's meant for lyrics, and I'm kind of like "random things are to be expected when you enter random things". It'll always have to be looked up on Youtube though, so it's not like you'll never see extreme things.

The awesomeness is in your video...explains your idea so beautifully. Did you do entire the video yourself, or outsourced a part of it?

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

Yay! "Free ideas" that ... didn't work out, have no market and are now eagerly flipped for peanuts. Sneaky indeed ;)

If you look at why they aren't working, 80% is because they don't have money to advertise them or time to carry on, not that they are not necessarily good

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.

The online designer is at beta stage. You drag and drop elements and see the experience live in android device. The value is on the Sdk and apps that get generated from this. You create your app distribute it and then change it online. Everybody will see the new version of the app (native) without updating. The templates are just for convenience. With drag and drop you can do anything.
