SideProjectors is a friendly marketplace to sell and buy interesting side projects from other people. If you are a developer with side projects then this would be a perfect community for you to discover what others are building.
SideProjectors is an online marketplace launched in 2014 where makers list web-based “side projects” (pre-revenue or revenue-generating websites, SaaS tools, mobile apps, Chrome extensions, etc.) for sale or for partnership. Core features include searchable project listings with traffic & revenue screenshots, direct messaging between buyer & seller, ‘watch’ lists, and optional paid upgrades that push a listing to the home page or newsletter. Listing a project is free; the site monetises through one-off fees for “featured”, “urgent”, or newsletter placements and does **not** currently charge a success commission. Typical ticket sizes range from a few hundred to low-five-figure USD. The audience is indie hackers, solo developers, and micro-acquirers looking for small, ready-to-ship products rather than full-scale companies. Because traffic is relatively small and global (≈60–80 K monthly visits per SimilarWeb, Jan–Apr 2024), there is no independently verified ‘best day’ to post; anecdotal IndieHackers threads suggest that Mon–Wed morning UTC garners the most eyeballs, but evidence is weak. Listings that perform best provide transparent metrics (GA screenshots, MRR, tech stack), realistic pricing, and clear transfer terms; sparse or over-priced listings attract little interest. Recommended practices: include proof of traffic/revenue, reply to messages quickly, and set a buy-it-now price. Things to avoid: misrepresented numbers (flagged by community), broken demos, and copying text from other marketplaces. No reliable data on algorithmic boosts beyond paid features.
