Cody, I'm still sorry I couldn't have maintained the Android app for you. :/ I loved working on it but just balancing that out with school kicked my ass.

No worries man, hope everything is going great :)

Gets a few articles through it every day - not making any money yet.

Need to invest the time to get more traffic, tighten the conversion process, clean up email marketing component, etc.

I think it has potential as a lead gen for other products.

I have a bunch of projects I built up which I consider "done" as far as I'm concerned, but at the same time they're basically free to run (AppEngine in the free tier) so I'm always reluctant to sell... I do wish there were people who wanted to take one of these and build them out to the "next level". - http://www.tweepsect.com/ - Gets 300,000~600,000 pageviews per month (about 1/6 uniques), makes a couple hundred buc…

How long did it take you to get to 6000 users?

Launched in 2012 I believe it was.

Are you currently monetizing this? What is your contact info?

I recently re-launched w/ a new design (frontend and backend). Also implemented Stripe. I have one user who signed up for the Plus account. i'm seeing more and more companies sign up.

The two most requests are mobile apps and a multi-property feature. I think there's a bigger market for property mgmt companies.

got a project in beta (http://www.calltracking.at/ - currently german only, will soon launch the english version at http://www.calltracking.net) which will give you the chance to track phonecalls in your web analytics , depending on the traffic source the visitor is coming from. I see a huge opportunity, especially in the B2B segement and in explanation-intensive products and services. beta testers / investors / buyers welcome.

http://www.meetifyr.com/ - been around for 6 years, haven't touched the code in years, gets around 3k page views and 100 active events a month. http://www.bookmarks.io/ - working but mothballed. http://convenely.com - current project, no traffic yet.

What problem you are solving with convenely? Isn't SMS an alternative solution? Also, does it update my calendar?

dude! don't sell it. find a partner. the next retirement wave (i.e. lots of RVing) is just beginning. this is a huge opportunity.

I think this next retirement wave is dead broke.

which is why they will be RVing instead of taking trips to the south of france.

Would mind telling me how you're decoding barcodes from the images? This is a problem I'm currently working on using js/canvas. Did you use ZXing?

Yep, Libramatic uses ZXing

Has Pinterest made a major impact on your business?

Absolutely yes, although we opened VisualizeUs like 4 years before Pinterest, Pinterest quickly took the advantage for social bookmarking for pictures.

It has, specially in terms of traffic, although we have a very loyal community that really likes VU. It has also had a major impact on that market in terms of investment. We have been bootstrapped all the time, but other projects in the same area has started to see a lot of movement in terms of investment thanks to Pinterest mainly.
