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

28 pointsby dukedabout 6 years ago
A similar thread gets posted every now and then. I think it&#x27;s time for an update. If you have any side projects that you&#x27;ve built and that you no longer have time for, list them here and let&#x27;s see if others want to buy it from you.<p>I&#x27;m personally interested in anything security related (SaaS preferred).

I built Nomie (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nomie.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nomie.app</a>) over the last 5 years, the data that people track with it IS INSANELY personal. So much that the stress wore me out and I ended up shutting it all down 2 months ago.<p>I&#x27;d love to sell it, but I&#x27;m too afraid of giving it to the wrong people. Every investor or potential buyer wanted Nomie for the users data, not because it was actually helping people - GTFO.

DNDEmail (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dndemail.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dndemail.com</a>) adds do not disturb features to Gmail. I built it for myself and then opened it up to others. Basically, it keeps your inbox empty on all devices, and delivers all your new messages on a schedule you determine.<p>I have 1600 sign-ups, 500 active users, and 22 paying customers. The post-beta conversion to paying account rate is 1.7%. The site has only been marketed on the Chrome Webstore where it has a 5 star rating and 40 real reviews. It gets 3-5 new sign-ups per day.<p>It is built on google app engine. Python, Django, and Google NDB datastore.<p>Link to chrome webstore page: (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;do-not-disturb-for-gmail&#x2F;plpeflfgccdjdoalphmpcahkedbabkno?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;do-not-disturb-for...</a>)

These get posted every week almost. I wonder if it’s mostly people looking to buy and then I sell at a marketplace for a profit.

I built Kismet (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;findkismet.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;findkismet.com</a>) and don&#x27;t have nearly as much time to spend on it as I&#x27;d like.<p>I would consider selling, but only to someone who wants to continue supporting it for the long term. I&#x27;d love a collaborator if anybody is interested!

We built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;safer.chat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;safer.chat&#x2F;</a> which is basically cryptocat (a secure end-to-end encrypted chat) without requiring to download&#x2F;install anything.<p>Let me known if you are interested.

I built a recruiting tool that generates ~$1200&#x2F;month in revenue. Takes almost no work to maintain.<p>zohar.jackson+hn@gmail.com
