Oh please, market to me.

I won't pay you for taking away stuff I love. No vim replacements, please.

But I will pay you for taking away stuff I hate, or can't. Here's a few ideas off the top of my head:

* cheap REST API based domain registration and DNS setup

* cheap rsync based backups (rsync.net minus support + cheap)

* pre-loaded legal cross-platform lightweight browser testing OS images, or hackable VNC based SaaS

* Strongly customizable imageless web site skeletons

* Mechanical Turk like service for design

* cheap REST based server encrypted file storage (Do a better job explaining the trust involved than S3)

* cheap raspberry pi co-location (low power, low cost, but dedicated). Optional 1TB USB drive and spindown code (I have this at home but it took me a day and I have 100Mbit broadband)

* cheap generic WLAN robot with REST interface (rolling hand with eye)

* Household chore automation devices

* Super fast shipping cheap 3D printing service with stress and durability certs

* Outsourced System Administration: Provide well tuned Debian based software stacks as simple pastable command line scripts in emails. Do the same for security upgrades. Be funny and edgy while doing so.

* Create designer raspberry pi case. Allow me to provide ROM and brand stamp. Ship to customers for me. Be cheap.
