Creator Kyle Bragger, who also cranked out killer dev/design web app Forrst, is looking for a buyer for these applications.

Last year, we told you about two great consumer web apps. Streak.ly is a motivational tool that helps you knock out your daily tasks. The app uses badges and other incentives to make a game out of accomplishing your goals.

The other app is Facto.me, a fun and addictive tool for sharing facts about yourself. This one reminded us a lot of Formspring; both of these apps neatly toe the line between pure navel-gazing vanity and truly social interaction online.

So why is Bragger letting these two enjoyable, well-made apps go? We're guessing he simply doesn't have time to maintain and market them, given the success of Forrst.

Forrst seems to have been taking up much of Bragger's attention lately. In December, the site launched a virtual currency and credits system called Acorns, and traffic on the site has seen a steady uptick since then, as well.

On his personal blog, Bragger writes, "Neither [Streak.ly nor Facto.me] have received the love and attention they deserve as of late, but maybe you can change that. Both have received a nice amount of exposure and have users in the mid-thousands; both are (were) enjoyable projects to work on and certainly have bigger potential were the right person (or team) to be at the helm."

A previous Bragger creation, location app Placefav, was acquired by WheresCool.com in 2009. His productivity app Done.io was handed over to Inevitable Corp. about a year ago, as well.
