Ask HN: Small weekend projects, making some money and planning to flip?

Hi. Can appreciate the breadth of listings on Flippa can seem difficult to navigate - it very much reflects the breadth of both buyers and sellers on the marketplace. However its worth trying out our recently enhanced search to uncover the sorts of projects you seem to be describing.

This is how it might look if you were just looking for apps that didn't harp on about "potential" but was at least 12 months old: https://flippa.com/buy/search?sort_col=relevance&sort_di...

You can use the facets to drill in further or otherwise hit the "Advanced" link beside REFINE to get really specific ...

Hope that helps.

If I could give you a suggestion, as a user who is very much interested in a service like this (both seler/buyer) the filters are pretty much worthless to find a good project.

A mechanism is needed to weed out the listings that reports earnings/traffic which is practically impossible compared to their site age, design, content, functionality, rankings(comcast,alexa,compete)

Hi,

My comments were not intended to be an attack on your site/service but rather an observation. I tried playing around the site with the search options as you suggested and the results were better. The problem still persisted though. Even in the example link you provided, there are 3 apps out of 9 results returned.

Hi. Belated response but the sellers enter the descriptions - the result set can be further tweaked to address it. Otherwise try browsing via "app" tags on sitetype: https://flippa.com/buy/sitetype/application
