https://mip.li is an interesting bookmarking site that I think a buddy of mine would sell. http://www.uptimebot.com - I bought the domain that has plenty of backlinks, etc.. re-branded it and have failed to actually launch it. http://www.backlink.org - Cool domain with an interesting business model idea/plan but no development done here yet.

#462I built it in 2011 with a friend going to law school, when the economy was particularly bad for law students. But we both have full-time jobs elsewhere and have no time for Firms.ly. We've had 3 paid customers.
We listed it on Flippa last week, with no reserve: https://flippa.com/3056958-web-app-with-simple-revenue-model

#463I maintain the site http://sideprojectors.com Would love to hear your comments & feedback on how things can be improved to help you sell your side projects. Personally, it's been quite rewarding to see people exchanging messages and actually buy & sell side projects.

#465Makes about $1k/month, have run some promos in the $1-4k territory. Would suit someone who is actually competent at marketing because my social numbers are appalling. Circa $60k.

#467http://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.

Out of interest, how is briefmetrics doing? Its a good concept, and nice clean report structure
Thanks! The fundamental product I wanted to build is done, so it basically runs itself while I do business development and sales. Eventually I'll need to dive back into the code to add more features I have on the roadmap, but I work best when I "switch modes" for spans of several weeks at a time so it may be a while. :) The current revenue is about $250/mo. I've been trying to focus more on agencies with many clients…
I love projects like this, particularly because although the income seems modest, I frequently live in developing countries for long stretches, where $250/month trickling in pretty much pays for the necessities.

#469Greaterskies, http://greaterskies.com - sells posters of the sky, thousands of stars and all the planets as seen from a place and at a time. Selling PDF ($24) and printout. Seems to be getting popular as a wedding present, also for birthdays. Common lisp backend computing the posters, Python and Javascript for the rest. Very nice conversion rate, but I haven't found the time to work on improving the number of visits.

#470I 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…
You're the developer I want to be someday. I realize that may sound weird. I'm ok with it.
