Seems overloaded. What's the site about?
I got it to load at some point. Looks like a flippa.com for side projects.
You can sell your website/side project.
It doesn't help that all the little thumbnails of the project screenshots are HD PNG files...
Haha, I made the a comment about something related to this the other day.

Funny how things just spring to life.

"Here's an even cooler idea: instead of listing emerging ideas, ,and beta projects, what about creating a website service for finishing almost done apps (alpha projects if you like). That would be a more interesting list. People could upload their started, but not finished projects and outline what's left. There must be millions of good ideas that has been started, but never finished due to the fact that the developer didn't find the problem interesting anymore. Specialize in one thing, like iphone-apps."

I really like the idea of selling/giving away incomplete projects. Seems like this site could easily facilitate that(don't think I saw it mentioned).
Good idea! We can easily accommodate that.
I like it. Is there a screening process for posting projects? What's to stop people from spamming lame Wordpress sites for $10 each like on Flippa?
True, I've always been curious about Flippa but leery of jumping on what seems like good deals, because I feel like a lot of the postings are pretty sketch.

Wow, website looks down from here. Hackernews DOS attack i guess.
up again, but the projects listed there are not that awesome... does anybody know another marketplace, beside flippa and all those forums?
or talk to us at Velocis (http://velocis.us). We like to consider ourselves a sort of plug-n-play co-founder to help new ideas succeed. In many cases, we take equity rather than charging like a normal dev shop or consultants.
Huh, this is an extremely interesting concept. I will be reaching out!

Edit: So you already have to have a startup profile? https://angel.co/velocis-winter-2013/apply

Edit edit: Nope, you can contact them straight from their online form!

Agreed that it is an interesting concept. I wish I had the time and knowledge (hopefully with time) to do something like that myself!
wow never thought about that, but the is an awesome concept, to help startups to come out of the early stages with some $$, some office space and some marketing consultancy / dev power.
How do you differentiate yourself from flippa?
Isn't flippa just about the website name.
I'm surprised to see Forking Recipes listed for sale on there. It seems like it was only a few months ago when it launched.
Unfortunately, due to a new job I don't have time to work on it and would like to see it have a good home.
Whoa. I read this as "SlideProjectors – Marketplace to buy and sell slide projectors"

Side Projects is a MUCH better idea ;)

Would anyone actually buy unfinished projects? I'd rather build my own dream than someone else's.
