http://bp-chart.com - store you blood pressure records. Chart, statistics, table view. Share them with your doctor. "Take your pills" e-mail reminders.

Over 5k registered users, 3.8k monthly visits. I haven't had time for it in the past 2 years. I keep it around because it really helps people and that gives me a warm feeling :-). It could surely use someone with a heart for marketing. At least a few monetization options (cash could be gotten from users, caretakers, medical facilities, drug companies).

http://truerobin.com Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage. Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search…

Tried this with a VC round a year ago. Good luck, you'll need it ;)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks! I built it last summer and posted it on a couple of forums but it's basically dead. It would be awesome if more people would use it though, in terms of monetisation I think some sort of 'Sponsored Curations' thing could work quite well, where companies can create their own lists and have them appear in users' feeds.

Nice but this cries for turning into a spam farm (think squidoo) as soon as it gets momentum.

True, a private / friend's group model would work best. Think how you can invite friends on kippt.com/

http://RVmenu.com is hotels.com for RV rentals. High conversion rate but very little traffic. Needs lots of SEO love.

Why are you trying to sell?

I'm bored. The technical side is done and now it needs a sales guy to make it successful.

Poemz - anonymous poetry app for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/poemz/id476811547?mt=8

Includes a web backend which allows poems from the app to be shared on social networks. http://poets-anonymous.appspot.com

The app has good reviews and thousands of submitted poems in its database, backed by Parse.

Monetization is through ads and the sale of credits to submit poems beyond the 5 credits you get with the app. I have done 0 marketing so have not been able to see how far monetization can be taken - right now it's quite low.

Used this also, you've got my love!

Thanks
