http://www.rankique.com/ is a price-tracking site for Amazon. It would probably need a renaming and some SEO-love, as it's currently generating about 5$/month (with zero time spent on it). Was once supposed to evolve into a better product search engine, but I've lost interest a while ago (except for personal use, it really can save a lot of money).

This looks useful and has a nice clean interface - how does it make money? via Amazon's affiliate program?

Thank you :) Jep, Amazon Affiliates.

I was thinking about something like this a couple of days ago for Kindle books.

That is an interesting idea, although, IIRC, there was something about Kindle content with the affiliate program...

I'd entertain offers for http://rss.io (including all the stuff with it like code and the Twitter account @rss). I have a full Google Reader-esque reader built and basically ready to deploy (billing code etc. included), but I likely don't really have time to maintain it/get it properly setup anytime soon. :(

E-mail me if you're interested, but keep in mind I've invested a good bit of time and capital in this thing. Offering me $100 isn't going to cut it.

I wrote a document management software for students, DocMan ( https://docman.me ). The software's ready and awesome, unfortunately I'm not a business guy so I never tried to make money out of it. I'm nearly graduated, and after that I guess I will just have it running for the bunch of users signed up for free. Let me know if you're interested. (Consists out of web app, iOS- and Android app.)

Looks really good. Why don't you offer a 30 day free trial and then charge a monthly or yearly fee. If you don't try to make money out of it, you won't make money out of it.

NXTPass (http://nxtpass.com) - a Two-Factor Authentication site. Built for developers who don't want to spend the time building their own 2-Factor infrastructure, this lets you add a few lines of code and have the whole thing working quickly.

Like most of my side projects, I didn't have the time or the marketing skill to make it work.

E-mail is in my profile.

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.
