Ask HN: Is there a modern equivalent of tinyapps.org?

25 points by roryisok ↗ HN
I found myself searching today for a site that lists low profile desktop apps. Many of the apps on tinyapps.org are not available anymore. I'm looking for a list of low-memory, low-footprint applications that are currently available

portableapps.com seems to be a good starting point, as does ninite.com, but these aren't exactly what I'm looking for

I created https://saasprofile.com to help me find software for my need - desktop or otherwise. There are few modern desktop apps listed. I'm working on an update to allow people suit their software and redesign the ui for better search. Let me know if you have any feedbacks. Much appreciated.

Which adds further proof to my theory that all JS is bad.

First, it would display gibberish w/o JS enabled, after enabling it froze the browser for 5 seconds before continuing to load the content.

have to agree. unusable for me on mobile. the dropdowns keep closing themselves. I tried to click on tags but they can't be clicked on, it loads the whole item instead. seems kind of pointless to have tags you can't click on

edit: tag issue on desktop too, not just a mobile concern
