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.

Very nice!

Personally, I dislike the phrase hand-curated.

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.

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.
