Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell? (2016)

63 points by hahla 10y ago

Last time around this was fairly popular. Lets have a 2016 version. If you have any side projects that you've built and that you no longer have time for, list them here and let's see if others want to buy it from you.

I wanted to create this decentralized social network that is community driven and community developed (through GitHub), but I think I'm too late to the show. It's just something I do for fun now and am making steady progress.

  Do you have a link to e.g. a Github repo?

http://webstories.org http://webstories.org: A platform to write stories based on small sections. You can put this on Google Translator to have an idea of what it is about: https://www.facebook.com/webstories.org/posts/835335799840573 https://www.facebook.com/webstories.org/posts/83533579984057.... I started it the beginning of 2015 in Brazil. Since then I did not have any time to invest on it and I am now living in Australia. The code is public on Github: https://github.com/FagnerMartinsBrack/WebStories https://github.com/FagnerMartinsBrack/WebStories. Honestly I just want someone to create a platform like this so that I can publish my stories someday, there's nothing exactly like what I want =(

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-content-calendar-lite/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-content-calendar-lite/ - A drag and drop content calendar for WordPress. You can literally drag and drop posts to different dates on a calendar and they'll post automatically when the date comes round. I built it last year, along with a premium version (which auto-suggests what you should write based on low competition kW opportunities) but ended up not getting around to releasing it. The free plugin is up on WordPress and has about 700 downloads. I'm willing to sell the free + (unreleased) premium plugin for the right price.

I've let http://historio.us http://historio.us languish for too long. I would like to sell it to someone who can properly maintain it, but I've left it without any promotion for too long to fetch a price that will be worth the hassle.
- jdmoreira 10y ago
  I'm a paying customer of historio.us. I really like it :) I would be sad if you let it go.
  - StavrosK 10y ago
    I'm glad you like it! The idea would be to sell it so someone could take better care of it, because it has so many satisfied users that it's a pity that I leave it unpromoted and mostly unmaintained... I definitely wouldn't want to sell it to someone just to have it shut down.

StartOpz (http://www.startopz.com http://www.startopz.com): Workday-lite (really lite) for small businesses. Individual components such as time-off tracking and expense reports all have sites on there dedicated to them individually that seem to do well. This covers all of them and could use somebody who has time to dedicate to (content) marketing. Moviestud.io (http://www.moviestud.io http://www.moviestud.io): Production management for independent filmmakers. The blog has a lot of epic length blog posts that can use somebody who can spend some time promoting them.

h34t iPhone app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h34t/id949092708?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h34t/id949092708?mt=8 I turned off the backend ec2 servers until I figure out my next pivot. So if you download the app right now, it won't show the h34t map - but you can get the idea from the iTunes screenshots

https://www.writedown.co https://www.writedown.co is a full blown Twitter clone with streaming, retweeting capabilities etc. It is immutable and opinionated on that. You can embed a tweet in the BTC blockchain but was thinking of other blockchains too. Didn't have time to market it I just made the effort of programming it in latest technologies (ES7, OrientDB, Ractive.js).
