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://chatible.io - FB Messenger bot to chat with people anonymously. 400k+ users, processes anywhere between 500k to 5 million messages per day depending on the day. Completely organic growth and can be easily expanded to other platforms and potentially monetized. It was also accepted into Facebook's FbStart program.

    http://rubeta.com - SMS Fundraising platform for small nonprofits. The product was completed recently, and I haven't begun marketing it yet. Easy monetization.

    Both products can be easily expanded, but unfortunately I haven't found the time to do so. Contact in bio.

    Willing to hear and entertain offers for my startup Commando.io which is SaaS (https://commando.io). Profitable, with solid MRR. Looking for 2.5 - 3.5x annual revenue (so offers > 40k and < 100k just for general magnitude). I'm looking to focus my time, energy, and capital on my new startup (https://elasticbyte.net). Contact info: hello at domain.

    http://founderpact.com

    It's not making any revenue so any offer will be considered. It's a tool for helping inexperienced founders avoid common mistakes when starting a business with someone, both legally and in terms of making sure you're on the same page. Did it after getting very burned on a business venture because of this.

    Got retweeted by some TechCrunch writer and also got to the frontpage (I think) of ProductHunt a while back. But I never got the time to get the product to where I wanted it to be (pay a $49 fee to get a good legally binding agreement based on the data you provided that you can just download, print and sign, and avoid problems and lawyer fees) nor market it properly (I also think it would be great to partner up with people who organize hackatons etc).

    Built in Rails, hosted in DigitalOcean.

    I would love to sell my portfolio on themeforest. Making about $100k/year in profit (after all expenses e.g. Hosting, support personnel etc...) and has been steadily growing for the last 2-3 years. I am just tired of theme development and want to do something else. I work about 4 hours a week to fix some small bugs from time to time and pretty much that's it. Contact hn@pinsupreme.com

    http://imgfave.com - YC company. 100k daily pageviews.

    http://backerpass.com - Monthly funding platform for artists and creators. ~$200/month currently going to creators.

    http://followfridayapp.com - Web, iOS, Android. Doesn't work currently because Instagram restricted their API. Could be rebranded into an app focused on selecting your own photos (something like 2016bestnine.com).

    http://facebook.com/youtubesearchbot - Messenger bot with 25 daily active users. Yeah not a lot, but could be grown if you have another bot to cross-promote with.

    StartOpz (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.

    I built a basic YouTube clone in Erlang that I currently only use in my home network. I've often wondered how much I could make if I came up with some flashy logo and name and tried to monetize it.

    I finished my first ever website prototype, nothing special, minimum file processing. But I did not deploy it, I tried first to put the domain on sale on SEDO and they suggest I should sell it for over 10k for it. But I also searched other domain extensions using the same one word, and those are also worth over 10k, so its hard to believe that the domain is really valuable. In a week I got 100 views.

    I don't really want to sell, but nor do I have the strength to continue right now. I'm on a break, for as long as I want.

    Does not earn anything yet because it is a free service, but for a few more features it would be possible to charge for it. It is made using Laravel.

    Yes, but I know it is going to be very difficult to find someone willing to pay as much as I expect for the time I spent developing it (1 year full time + 1 year part time). So, it will be always mine until I decided its time to kill it forever.
