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.

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?

Algorithms can "curate" things nowadays, but often do so poorly. "Hand" implies a person is doing the curation and not an algorithm. I could see people preferring a person over an algorithm.

A "curated feed" doesn't imply a human is curating the feed anymore.

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.

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.

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.

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.
