http://arcticfox.com/ - A video and slide deck syncronisation tool. It is a HTML5 based player which separates the video from the presentation. A great tool for conferences and e-learning. Heres an example: http://app.arcticfoxtv.com/d/onbxr

Its still the only tool to my knowledge that doesn't use flash and works on mobile.

I'd entertain offers for iGarageSale for iOS and Android. Though I've pulled the apps from active sale, you can still get a pretty good idea of what they provided at http://www.igaragesaleapp.com/

Was the #1 app for finding garage sales (~10,000 paid downloads and ~10,000 free / lite downloads), but my primary startup has taken off and I didn't have time to maintain.

There are some pretty interesting use cases left unexplored - e.g. social aspects or other verticals (apartment rentals).

If you're interested in making a serious offer hit me up at igaragesale [at] performantdesign [dot] com.

scendr.com Makes sending hand written cards easy. Drop an email to note@scendr.com. Writers take care transcribing and sending. Churns out a good chunk each month. Could definitely scale further if you had the time and energy.

Looks great! May I ask how you handle payments?

Thanks, two way to handle payments. 1. You can click buy in bulk - from there you can buy any number of cards. 2. Or is you just send a note. Then we start writing the card and reply with a request for payment. We send the card when you pay.

Give it a try. Thanks for the question.

I've been looking for something this for years, but the service is missing one thing - scheduling. I have terrible hand-writing and a poor memory for birthdays. I'd like to schedule cards to be sent out, pre-writing them maybe a year in advance. It means I can sit down and write all the birthday cards in one sitting, and then forget about them. Not really in the spirit of birthday's I know. I would need to be able to…

Really interesting feedback. Thank you. -Cards sent from Vermont. The postmark is small and bland. -Stamps are USA stamps. Very plain, but elegant. -With regards to your feature, I'd be happy to create that for you. If you send an email to note@scendr.com with a document containing: the letters, the addresses and the dates you want them sent - I could take care of that for you. Let me know.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did you build the sites yourself (aside from the blog) or is it built on a cms? Also, where you do you get your traffic from? I can't imagine a site like this indexes well in search engines.

Built in Django. Fully automated. I haven't touched it in 6months or more and it just keeps running. And you are correct, not a huge search footprint due to the lack of unique / authoritative content, but it's got good rankings where it matters - "mma news aggregator" => #1. :)

zero appreciable search demand for that phrase (global, english)

Ocean Commotion: an iPad game with unique multi-touch game play. The graphics are great, but I have no clue how to market, and I am not getting the downloads I am looking for. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ocean-commotion/id518629974?...

I would be interested in helping you to market it for a share in revenue.
