Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?

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 bucks from ads each month. Been around for almost 5 years.

- http://colorblendy.com/ - There's also a Chrome app (20k weekly users), website gets about 4,000~8,000 visits/month. I had some ideas for making a "Pro" edition with things like importing/exporting colors from/to CSS stylesheets. Probably need to do some more market research before diving into this.

- http://wedomainsearch.com/ - Few hundred visits per month, brand new (built several months ago). Fairly cool idea that is really valuable for founders/hobbyists, I use it all the time. Needs some love for promotion and monetization, though.

I love working on these little stand-alone projects (a few more here: http://shazow.net/, also my email address if you want to reach out), sometimes I wish I could just whip them out and sell them as a living but the code alone is never as valuable without putting in effort into growing the audience.

I've made a service for festivals/concert venues/labels, where they can promote their events in various streaming services (e.g. Spotify, Rdio, Deezer etc.). The difference between their regular web page and the streaming apps is that the festivals can now link their news and lineup to the actual artists playing. So, if Outkast is playing at a festival they can add a news item for it, and link to Outkast's artist page where the user can read Outkast's bio and listen to their whole back catalogue. Also, the whole line up for the festival is available on one page, so it's easy to listen to all artists playing, and sort by date, stage, etc.

http://www.promotor.fm (currently only a landing page)

http://open.spotify.com/app/oyafestivalen (Spotify app for Norwegian festival Øyafestivalen)

The app is service agnostic, so it can be used with any streaming service. The only thing needed to add a new client is to create the frontend part, and link it to the back end APIs. Also, clients can add content from their own CMS and add it to the Promotor database through our APIs.

Currently there's only desktop support, but I'm working on adding mobile support for Android and iOS.

http://easybacklog.com is a backlog management tool. It is fundamentally different to many existing tools such as Pivotal or Sprintly in that its focus is to provide scrum masters and product owners with a tool to estimate, and manage the delivery of a project as opposed to the ongoing endless development of a business. This type of workflow is needed for freelancers and agencies who are typically trying to deliver a service at a fixed cost or fixed scope. Easybacklog provides tools to compare the backlog at points in time and thus renegotiate at each sprint with the client in regards to scope or price.

I have thousands of active users and have asked many of them whether they would be willing to pay, and they are. Unfortunately I just don't have the time now or for the foreseeable future to add a few highly requested features and billing systems for the product. This is an ideal product for someone to pick up, add a few of the really needed features, and start charging existing happy customers.

Get in touch with http://mattheworiordan.com if this interests anyone who has some time to develop a Rails / Backbone application, and wants to create a revenue stream for themselves very quickly.

https://ceti.us - a crypto currency market analytics site I've been working on slowly for about 6 months. The analytics are inspired by physical modeling. I'm a full time aerospace engineering and astrophysics student that will be starting a PhD next year. The website could be monetized but I haven't the slightest clue about the best way to do that, nor do I have the time to figure it out. I literally only make improvements to the site out of necessity when my BTC growth plateaus...

Note: If you sign up for it, not all features are available to new users.

I'm also open to taking on rapid programming contracts if you need something built in the span of a few days. However, it'll have to wait a few weeks until finals are over.

I have a bunch of side-projects too but most of them are in the limbo because there isn't someone behind it to work daily on it. They are:

- http://startya.co/ - we help non-tech people launch his MVP.

- http://drinks4.us - Drink recipes to teach you how to make drinks with what you have in your fridge!

- http://gamescom.in/ - we notify you when the game you are waiting for is released

In portuguese:

- http://xingueseuamigo.com.br - for U$ 1.50 we prank your friend anonymously via phone.

- http://ficougratis.com.br/ - we email you when the app that YOU want is temporarily free.

- http://estoujogando.com.br - a startup that didint make enough money and turned into a side-project. Its a brazilian social network for gamers.
