My initial thought with the domain name was: "That's a rather specific thing to be selling... Side Projectors... Like creating a website selling just Dvorak Keyboards..."

At least you know exactly what you are getting.

Something in alpha, mostly. Messy code, half baked features, that kind of thing.

I could see it being valuable for people who have a hard time getting started but go like gangbusters once they have something to bang against.

I think the parent means that Side Projector sounds like some weird kind of a projector... as an optical device that projects an image onto a surface. That was my first thought.

You gotta juice up your hosting! Site is suffering under heavy load it seems.

Not mine, I found it in another thread[1], but it seems to load every now and then, try again.

How does one calculate value for a side project?

I guess the market will decide what a fair price for any project will be? If the site works like I think it does (could not access it, server down?) I can imaging buying a project, working on it for a few months and then putting it back up for sale to maybe make a little profit and see some one else bring it to completing.

The market deciding only would work right when there is perfect information. I'm not sure about that.

Take the twitter valuation, and say to yourself "well even if I'm only 0.1% as successful as twitter is...." and go from there.

You might want to use CloudFlare for the site. It's not really loading.

I really like the layout of your site and its a great idea.

Did you start from a template or from scratch? If you used a template can you point me to it?

Site seems to be down due to HN. But seems like a cool idea.

Ah, wow, this was my side project I'd been hacking on and off for the last couple months. However I'm glad to see there's a site like this out now, and that it doesn't charge any man-in-the-middle fees. Would be especially interested to know how they beat the chicken-egg...
