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

323 points by gillis 12y ago

A thread similar to this was posted ~1 year ago by illdave. I think it's time for an updated 2014 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.

http://doodlec.am/ http://doodlec.am/ I wish I had time to build it, but I don't. It's a simple idea, where we had moderately good execution and big ideas for the future. Future plans were to expand to Doodle Packs, with themed artwork (also for sale, perhaps). The image detection code (doodle placement) was pretty hacky but functional. The app has about 10,000 downloads, maybe 1,000 active (close to 0 marketing). I envisioned updating it with new doodles, better image code, sharing options, etc, and re-launching in the next couple months...but realistically that probably won't happen. Maybe you could make it happen? :)

  I'm too busy for something like this too, but I want to work on this pretty bad because, well, embarrassingly I'm a Catwang user. I think the 'insert randomly' is a nice feature, but if I were to work on this, I'd focus more on letting users insert their own content. Catwang sells 'Doodle Packs' but I think they're missing a couple of things which your image detection is approaching: the ability to make your own stickers (out of friends, perhaps) and the ability to draw on the image (like Snapchat).
- Suppafly 12y ago
  It'd be neat if it inserted real pictures, not just doodles.

  This is just KDice, is it not?
  - arfliw 12y ago
    Inspired by KDice, yes. There are some key differences in game play, rules and mechanics, that were meant to improve upon KDice's shortcomings.

I have a site called TwitterAudit (twitteraudit.com) that started as a side project. We just started making a bit of money on it from paid re-audits. The site gets about 40k uniques/month. There are about 150k registered users and about 250k audits.

  How does this work? I just tried clicking through and it returned a list of friends who added me. If there was no list of people who deleted me, does that mean it hasn't happened? Was it working properly?

  - Flowsion 12y ago
    I think you have to have it enabled and when someone disables or unfriends you on Facebook, you will be notified.
  - jtokoph 12y ago
    I'm going to assume that it saves a record of your friendships when you first login. Then every time you come back to the site it looks at your current friend list and tells you the names of the people that dropped off.

      If it does work this way, this is a breach of the Facebook developer terms of service. Data may be cached for specific amounts of time, but long term storage is not allowed. When this app gets big enough to notice, Facebook will shut it down

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/ 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/ 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/ 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/ 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.

  - refrigerator 12y ago
    Thanks! I built it last summer and posted it on a couple of forums but it's basically dead. It would be awesome if more people would use it though, in terms of monetisation I think some sort of 'Sponsored Curations' thing could work quite well, where companies can create their own lists and have them appear in users' feeds.

http://truerobin.com http://truerobin.com Private Group Classifieds. Facebook groups are increasingly being used for private craigslists, but they are not well-suited to buying/selling. There is no search, no alerts, and are very time consuming to manage. Built with Rails 4, Postgres, Resque. Got it to a functioning point and then had to switch gears to other clients/projects/work. The plan was to charge individuals for the tools (search, alerts, posting limits) rather than charge for a group, since they would just run to FB then.

- Trufa 12y ago
  Just out curiosity, how much are you expecting to get for a site like that? I really have not clue how to calculate something like this. Hope it's not rude to ask :)
  - sharemywin 12y ago
    sites like that are going for around 5-6k on flippa.com. might bget more because of the history. but usually around 10-12mo revenue.
  - AlexMuir 12y ago
    Here is the problem with valuing a business like this... It's my business so I know that revenue has actually risen year-on-year since I set it up (and on just looking is actually $9,000 a year) So for me, I know that I couldn't take less than $40k for it. Since I'd never earn anything like that return on that amount of money elsewhere, even assuming revenue sits static for 5 years. On the other hand, who in their right mind would pay that with nothing but some Adsense numbers and Google Analytics to go on. So to answer your question "What do I expect to get for it?" Nothing - I don't actually expect anyone to pay what I'd sell it for. And so I'll probably keep it forever. The only situations that I can see panning out are a) someone buying it for a brand (unlikely) b) an established player buying it for the traffic and SEO reasons (a good move IMO) c) someone with plans to monetize and/or grow it in different ways or d) a fund is established which buys up all these scrappy little sites, monetizes and maintains them, and earns a steady 20% return for its investors. I'd actually be very interested in working on d) if anyone wants to get in touch.

Well, that's a lot of pent-up supply of side projects! It seems like a natural buyer would be someone like a student who wants to kick the tires of the whole running a small business thing, but start with a better baseline than merely "from scratch", mitigating some market risks, as it were, and reusing existing code. What I like about this is that rather than all the research and development going to waste, it's helping someone else. So if you want to start a new thing, you can try to buy the closest thing that's already there, and stand on the shoulders of the previous generation. There's an idea for a market place lurking in there somewhere. not so much from "get the most cash for your side project", but from the "find a good use for your old work" angle. I have a couple of projects I want to offload myself, and I care more about them being put to good use than about finding the highest bidder or whatever.

  But a student has no money.
  - adventured 12y ago
    When I was student age, circa late 1990s, I had a few people I knew with money offer to set me up into an existing web business if I found something interesting to purchase. They didn't have the technical chops to run something, they knew I did, and they had the money. Friends, family, investors, there are numerous options for a younger person to pull this off - even more so if the sums aren't too crazy.
- nhebb 12y ago
  I think this is the flip side of "business guy seeks technical co-founder". I would love to see a site that partnered up developers with marketers. I can't be the only developer that realizes that they suck at marketing.

www.blogmask.com It's a 100% anonymous blogging platform with a clean interface. Just start writing and set a password for your post so you can come back later and edit it. Stores literally zero information about the author. Has a stolen-from-svbtle voting system and a reply mechanism. I believe it has potential because I left it untouched and came back a month later to find dozens of employees of the company OpenEnglish using it as a forum to discuss their issues with their employer and to anonymously coordinate action. They have no fear of ever being "found out" because I couldn't even tell you who wrote what. Built in a week and I'd give it away for free to anyone who wants to move forward with it. I think it's a really great idea but I'm not sure where to take it.
- scottydelta 12y ago
  I would love to have it and move forward to see how far I can improve it and monetize it.

We would like to sell our casual PC game Gemsweeper - released in 2007. http://www.lobstersoft.com/gemsweeper/ http://www.lobstersoft.com/gemsweeper/ It's a nonogram puzzle game and it made a fair amount of money on portal sites like Bigfishgames and Real Arcade. Since the market has changed a lot and it is not promoted any longer, it now only makes a couple of hundred dollars a month. Initially we intended to release a sequel and even created great new levels. Since our other software business is quite time consuming, we haven't worked on the game since 2008.

I wrote it for a customer who wanted a simple portfolio website (just the pictures and some pages for textual information), so I made this CMS-like thing to edit the page and it could be marketed for more customers etc. But I don't have any hope it will get a customer, so its interface is still uncomplete (and it is in portuguese), but it works (with a custom domain). What would you do with it?

I started the site in high school — I was teaching myself iOS development and realized there wasn't a site that started from ground zero. So I set out to fix that. 30k monthly visits at its peak (without any promotion), but since coming to college I haven't had time to create much content. Now getting 10k monthly visits. Been around 2.5 years. Would love if anyone's interested in writing some posts, updating existing content, or taking over the mission of teaching people to program on iOS.

  - waleedka 12y ago
    I don't yet. I needed a service like this a while ago and the existing ones were too expensive for my level of traffic, so I built one and then decided to open it up to others as well. That was years ago and it grew over time. I never got around to building a payment system for it. It was always something I wanted to do but never had enough free time to do it.
- ejb99 12y ago
  Do you make anything form it now? What are you hoping to get for it? - and what stack are you using?
  - waleedka 12y ago
    It's two parts: An App Engine/Python for the UI and user registration, and a Linux server for image capturing (Python, Javascript, RabbitMQ, ...etc.). At first we used popular libraries like Phantomjs, but eventually had to write our own to scale better. I'm experimenting right now with moving the image capturing code to an App Engine managed VM to simplify things and make it scale easier.

http://brainy.io http://brainy.io is a project i made that creates a complete API for you by inferring information from your Backbone code. it is a rapid prototyping tool. the simple idea is that you create your front-end application without an API (using standard Backbone best practices). when you start your application, Brainy can inspect your routes and models and create an API for you. future potential includes something like websocket support (syncing data), and out-of-the-box server side rendering. i have both of these working but not complete. i'm not exactly looking to sell the project, but i'd love to appoint a new owner to the application. it has a lot of potential i just simply can't prioritize it right now. my email is in my profile if anyone wants to talk about it. edit: i'm giving away something i put a lot of time in for free and i'm getting downvoted. why am i not totally surprised.

http://VisualizeUs.com http://VisualizeUs.com - social bookmarking for pictures. * Last month stats: ~2.5 million pageviews, 846,000 uniques. * Highly engaged community with ~210k signed up users (all organically, 0 paid marketing) and 7 million pictures in db. * Expenses ~$400 (hosting and outsourcing). * Making ~$2k/mo profit, mainly from advertising and photo stock affiliates. * Established since 2007, lots of SEO potential and very poorly monetized. It's not exactly a side project, it has been our main business for the last 5 years, but we've got bored. We still believe it has a huge potential though so we're looking for someone who can take it to the next level.

  Has Pinterest made a major impact on your business?
  - ajerez 12y ago
    Absolutely yes, although we opened VisualizeUs like 4 years before Pinterest, Pinterest quickly took the advantage for social bookmarking for pictures.
    - ajerez 12y ago
      It has, specially in terms of traffic, although we have a very loyal community that really likes VU. It has also had a major impact on that market in terms of investment. We have been bootstrapped all the time, but other projects in the same area has started to see a lot of movement in terms of investment thanks to Pinterest mainly.

You will not find a better truck to restore--at this price. And the best part about this project, there's no computer. And yes--for the right price I will sell physibles.com.

  Love the concept. What's your userbase like? I'd be interested in buying it/taking it over. Edit: I see you have it listed on SideProjectors. Is $25,000 correct or a typo? Doesn't quite line up well with 10 users a month :)
  - sfalbo 12y ago
    Hi the price on SideProjectors is a typo - I need to fix that. No wonder no one has jumped on it :) The usage is really quite low - I never spent any time marketing it unfortunately.

I created a project called http://customlawyerapps.com http://customlawyerapps.com. The site allows law firms and attorneys to create iPhone and Android apps for their business.

The project also includes 'base' iPhone and Android apps that are then customized to a customer's needs. I haven't had the time to market the site very much but it would be a good opportunity for someone that has mobile app development background and the ability to market the site to the target market.

imgflip.com - meme & gif creation/sharing site Traffic: 2.5M visits/mo, 5.5M pageviews/mo Revenue: 9K/mo Cost to run: 1.5K/mo The heart of the site is the Meme and GIF generators, best on the net if you ask me ;). Pro subscriptions are the biggest source of revenue. I'm not sure I would say "want to sell", but I spend most of my time on a much larger project/team, so I don't give it the attention it deserves. For that reason, I would be glad to see someone (or a team) who wanted to build it out much more. [edit: spacing]

  Assuming a few hundred == 300, 10k seems fair, if not generous. At the absolute most I'd expect it to fetch 20k. My guess is that your expectations might be a tad unrealistic.

I was a developer/founder once. I partnered with another developer, and we made a tool that would track the ranking of your site in regards to certain search terms, to a.) figure out whether your SEO guy was worth the money, and b.) figure out which SEO tricks worked best. We weren't really making any money ,so I sold out my half of the company to a business guy. My former dev partner then went on with the business guy to make it a half-million a year business with about 4 hours a week of maintenance work. Of course, I truly believe it wouldn't have gone anywhere if we didn't bring in a business dev guy, and I can't see any reason in retrospect why I should have expected their business to do so well once I left, but... Seller beware! :-)

  Seller beware, yes, but I also think developers with ideas to sell are a dime a dozen - without execution to make it successful/profitable business ideas by themselves are not worth much.

Gingerly (http://www.ginger.ly http://www.ginger.ly) is a Location-based Expense Tracking Android app that we've built on the side: think Mint meets Foursquare. USP is our ambient sensing platform which shows you how much you've spent at a business, and your receipts for that place the moment you arrive there. 16K+ downloads and makes us about $50-100 per month (varies based on the month). Free app but Monetization is via in-app purchases (unlimited expense reports) and ads. Expenses: $5 per month with a Digital Ocean droplet that hosts the website. Haven't had any maintenance issues and the app has been on auto-pilot mode for last 1 year. With some repolish of the UI, this app has tremendous potential. A competing app with half the features but prettier UI ramped up to half-million downloads in 6 months. If someone offers the right price, willing to sell it. Alternatively, also interested if someone wants to work with us on an iPhone app on an equity or rev-share basis.

    Thanks, two way to handle payments. 1. You can click buy in bulk - from there you can buy any number of cards. 2. Or is you just send a note. Then we start writing the card and reply with a request for payment. We send the card when you pay. Give it a try. Thanks for the question.
- junto 12y ago
  I've been looking for something this for years, but the service is missing one thing - scheduling. I have terrible hand-writing and a poor memory for birthdays. I'd like to schedule cards to be sent out, pre-writing them maybe a year in advance. It means I can sit down and write all the birthday cards in one sitting, and then forget about them. Not really in the spirit of birthday's I know. I would need to be able to cancel a card (should for example, an elderly relative die before their birthday). Where are the cards sent from? I'm wondering what stamps get put on the envelope when sent internationally.
  - lbr 12y ago
    Really interesting feedback. Thank you. -Cards sent from Vermont. The postmark is small and bland. -Stamps are USA stamps. Very plain, but elegant. -With regards to your feature, I'd be happy to create that for you. If you send an email to note@scendr.com with a document containing: the letters, the addresses and the dates you want them sent - I could take care of that for you. Let me know.

Greaterskies, http://greaterskies.com http://greaterskies.com - sells posters of the sky, thousands of stars and all the planets as seen from a place and at a time. Selling PDF ($24) and printout. Seems to be getting popular as a wedding present, also for birthdays. Common lisp backend computing the posters, Python and Javascript for the rest. Very nice conversion rate, but I haven't found the time to work on improving the number of visits.

  This is really nice! You should add some options for style though, I found the yellowish-names really hard to like. Whoever buys this needs to hire a print designer, if only to do minor correction to the basic template.
  - juanre 12y ago
    Thank you! And you are right, my strength has never been graphic design. But a significant fraction of visitors are buying, so I'd be inclined to spend the resources in gaining visibility.
- marban 12y ago
  Can you describe the actual production + s&h process? I assume it's 100% outsourced?
  - juanre 12y ago
    Sure. When you buy the printout the PDF gets computed, and an email is automatically sent to a US-based print service provider who prints and ships. You can also download the PDFs. When you buy the PDF only (the most popular version, despite the fact that the price of the printout is very competitive) everything is of course automated.

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 http://www.promotor.fm (currently only a landing page) http://open.spotify.com/app/oyafestivalen 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.

It was featured on Lifehacker among other sites related to home organization. My wife and I had a baby last year so I never had time to market it properly. A lot of folks want an iPhone/Andoird app but I'm not the right person for that. Someone good at marketing can probably have this take off. No other competitors are as easy to use as iKeepm.

I'm selling PaleoPax.com. I've moved to running MonthlyBoxer.com fulltime, and don't have the time or skills necessary to grow PaleoPax. Right now the Paleo Starter Kit sells for $49 including shipping, and averages $15 profit per sale. Without any marketing effort besides spending ten minutes to get an EveryMove account set up, I'm selling ~30 per month. Product contracts are all solid, and I'd be willing to continue doing fulfillment for PaleoPax for $2 per box. That'd mean a buyer would make $13 per sale and only have to deal with driving traffic.

Proposal: I have the cash and reasonable business/tech experience, but not the bandwidth to run a "full-time side project" ( does that term make sense to anyone other than me? ). Would consider putting up capital to fund purchase and an initial operating budget if a willing and capable partner presents himself or herself to operate the site. I would take a "board of directors" - type role ( periodic advice and oversight, but not involved day to day ). You would be the CEO. If you'd be interested in something like this, shoot me a message and we'll talk.

Have a site called ApartmentFetch.com that's been running as a side project for a couple years. Get's about 50-100 SEO clicks a day and have had an Adwords campaign running for quite some time that can generate a lot more traffic than that. Used to monetize it from sending leads to 3rd party apartment sites but some of those relationships dried up. If someone was willing to put the time in to add the ability to charge apartments directly (along with Adsense, etc) could be back to generating some decent revenue.

http://easybacklog.com 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 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.
