Ask HN: Anybody selling their side project?
6 comments
I just want to clarify something here, I am not an idea guy or a business guy. I am a hacker but my specialties are systems programming in C/C++ and I am learning web dev on the side when I get time, but haven't gone that much far. The reason for this post was partially to motivate me as well, since its great motivator once you get something going.
Why not just launch your own small one? What you'll want to know the most is how to get from zero to something and buying an established site won't teach you that.
It took me just a day to implement http://notsharingmy.info/ and I've learned a real lot from it (and still learning).

Build one yourself, or partner with someone who will build it for you.
That will give you so much more satisfaction and will also give you all the practical trial and error testing you need!

Curious what you mean by "experiment with various things related to running a site". Do you mean getting traction and paying customers, or setting up a server?
I have several systems that I'd sell but they are not doing big revenue. Oneworldcollege.com and servercyde.com (maybe)
or partner with me,am desperately looking for a funding partner.though I am probably not in a location you would like.
I know lot of people on HN own several webapps. Wondering if anybody willing to sell something? I tried to find a proper marketplace unlike flippa (i.e. without scammers) but couldn't, hence the post.
