Wow. Cheers for one of the coolest things I've ever seen on HN. (The algorithm identified not one, but both of my former alts.) Edited to tone down the reaction, but that's amazing.

lol And now, I'll promptly shut down that system again... As I said in the previous comment, that IMO is going too far. Even though I'm 100% sure others are using similar systems, I don't feel comfortable in that business -_- Kinda highlights, although the hnprofile.com demo may have it's current faults - there's a lot you can do. The cool part, is the platform (called Metacortex) is easy to build apps on top of.

I don’t know what for yet, but I’m absolutely certain I will need to pay for your product. Quite the demo!

If you’re ever in the Chicagoland area, happy to buy you a beer!

Great list! Thank you author! Side note - does anybody tried clockify.me ? Looks awesome, and it's free! Wondering how they earn money and how reliable they are.

It's legit. There is a paid plan (buried in extra features section), plus big companies pay lots of money for self-hosting and custom development

We from https://saasmark.com are aiming to solve this exact problem. We are currently in Y Combinator Startup School and are launching our beta in a couple of weeks. In case you are interested to check our service and give us some useful feedback, please let us know.

If you are really good you should have SaaS product evaluation results in your front page with links to competitors :)

.. where the one giving the best kickback wins? :)

I find that my problem isn't finding services that match a requirement I have, but picking which one to use. It's totally overwhelming how many services do pretty much exactly the same thing these days. I love that it's like this in the sense that there's healthy competition and they're all pushing each other forward, giving each other ideas to improve, etc... but as a pure consumer of these services, it's incredibly…

Alternatively, trying to decide to pay for an off the shelf solutions or build it yourself (medium sized company).

Only build it yourself if you can really afford it. Usually it's faster to use a third party tool

I very much feel like this as well (on both counts), especially about CI. I'd love to hear any strategies folksight have for coping with this and actually making decisions without looking into every single option, if that's a thing.

What I like to do sometimes is contact the support of the apps I'm hesitating on. Whichever is most responsive/helpful wins, as it's a good sign they actually care.

I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a useful thing to test out. Thanks!
