Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
If you have any side projects that you would be interested in selling, list them here and let's see if anyone wants to buy it from you.
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2014 where @hahla convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.

I have some Java audio synthesis apps. They're GPL'd but I'd sell someone exclusive commercial rights to them so they could fork them for any purpose.
This one has a lot of interesting classes and a general unit generator synthesis pipeline: http://sourceforge.net/projects/applpi/
And this one is essentially a wavetable oscillator which lets users redraw the wavetable and sum different waves (and there's a piano-roll I started but isn't shown in the UI): http://sourceforge.net/projects/originalsynth/

Forget about the CS degree. This will teach you how incredibly slow a coder you really are and let you upgrade to Starcraft like apm. Additional version can be made in almost unlimited variation.

There's a ton of services that do precisely this (http://sideprojectors.com). Why here?
