Cool, but most users won't know what CSS3 or hybrid applications are. Maybe just put "should work with all modern browsers".

I thought I wouldn't like it, but the selection of web apps is very interesting.

Great site and nicely curated list. But I think there is a problem with redirecting www to non-www.

I submitted an app [1] using the the Google forms that you have, after submission it takes me to www.webapphunt.co and Heroku says that no such app exists.

You might want to check your DNS records.

Thank you for reporting. Fixed it.

Very nice!

Personally, I dislike the phrase hand-curated.

garysieling• 9 years ago

Can you elaborate? I've been describing https://www.findlectures.com similarly to people, and I've had a lot of positive feedback. There is some frustration from the impersonality of the poorer implemented AI recommenders.

what's added by describing it as hand-curated over curated?

intrasight• 9 years ago

Agreed. Curation is done with the mind not the hand. And since there's no other way to do it, you can drop the mind and just say curated.

I am as tired of hearing "curated" as I am of "artisanal".

Both are effectively becoming meaningless and set my pretentiousness detector on high alert.

jerrycruncher• 9 years ago

Agreed. 'Curated' is currently being over-used to the point of parody. Any list of things made by a person is a curation.

One could easily describe a grocery list as a 'a thoughtfully curated selection of produce and pantry goods.'

This looks cool, thanks. Also want to thank you for not opening your links in an external window! I'm really getting sick of that trend.

mxuribe• 9 years ago

I like this; very nice.

The folks over at /r/selfhosted made a similar list of (mostly) web applications you can selhost: https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted

The most useful app on this hand-curated list has got to be "how many people in space right now". I mean, who knew it would be 6 ! /s /thread.

Nice. I think my http://www.averageweather.io web app fits in well here, but I guess I will wait and see if it gets approved. Quick and to the point, useful web apps.

ihattendorf• 9 years ago

Looks nice, but I'm getting a 500 response.

Ugh. Handled. Thanks

adambedford• 9 years ago

Nice! I submitted my app, JobTrack (https://jobtrack.io). Let's see if it gets approved to be listed!

jim_d• 9 years ago

This is a great list, thanks for putting this together. As a small feature request it would be great if I could see more of the apps at once, I think infinite scroll or just more apps per page would be nice.

Moving the list to twitter to cut down costs.
