Many HNers have side projects that make small amount of money or have a userbase. If you would like to sell your webapp/mobile app, please specify. Don't forget to add contact information

Note to moderators: Can we please make this a recurring question like whoishiring thread?

   Can we please make this a recurring question

Wouldn't it be worth doing a trial period of manual posts first, to gauge the amount of interest?

Fielding serious offers for my startup http://commando.io. Looking for 3-4x ARR.

Commando.io is a web based SSH platform for running commands on servers. The commands (recipes) are centrally stored and versioned and there is a complete execution history. There is an API, CLI, and iOS app for running commands on servers on the go as well.

If interested see HN profile for my contact info.

Ive got http://www.pedalr.com - a marketplace for people who love bikes.

It's been completely refactored, has a decent mailing list and list of followers. I'd be interested in selling it or linking up w the right cofounder w some energy to help me relaunch, test, learn, and grow the product.

Contact me for a look behind the landing page.

We have made several iOS apps which have been very well reviewed and sell consistently, but we're not terribly good at marketing. We're open to an offer if someone wants to purchase them and market them to the right audiences.

Apps: https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/nikki-degutis/id119686...

Cool looking bubble and paint apps. I would seriously consider buying if the iTunes listing had a video preview.

By buying I mean pay the $0.99, not buy the rights to app from you. ;)

Like a couple of the reviews, my kids are obsessed with bubbles and love colorful paint apps.

I have a wordpress plugins business that earns maybe a couple hundred a month without touching it at all. I know it's not a lot but I sold a similar business a few years back that regularly made $1200-$1500 a month and the products were not as good. The only difference is I'm working so hard on other stuff this hasn't had the time it deserves. Someone with the time and motivation to add a couple of new features and actually advertize it a bit (I've never done any advertizing at all) would make a decent, passive income.

I also own another business that makes about $1500 a month (50/50 adsense & product sales) but does require a few hours a week of effort. I've only just started improving this and expect it to hit $3k a month within 6 months. I'm not seriously considering selling unless I get a really good offer but you never know!
