Has this been even clicked through by a human? The link to TinyStack goes to a domain parking page, and the link to Zimki leads to a slideshare presentation.

There's not even a blurb that explains what a particular SaaS / PaaS offering is good at, just favicons and links. This is an opposite to a real, curated "awesome-<something>" list.

Some links lead to gambling landing pages e.g. backery

Link has been updated.

It is backed by github repo, where in creators create a PR. This website is backed by that. This is purely community driven.

I did a quick sanity check before posting. I will do a better housekeeping. I'll remove bad links.

Please note zimki is an honarary mention as it was first paas ever created by canon. Redirect to slideshare is purposely done.

Thank you for the quick and constructive reaction! It makes me want to offer an improvement PR now :)

Please feel free. I do not make any money with this nor there is any hidden intentions here. I am doing this because I am genuinely passionate about PaaS, containers and devops.

I started this when my company as into PaaS. Now we are not, but I still curate and maintain it.

Why do you need a toggle for "Active" services? Surely a curated list would remove services that are no longer active? My issue with this list, and many others like it, is that they appear to have very little curation and just turn into a dumping ground of links to any service. e.g. there is almost 50 services listed as "PaaS or CaaS" - are all of these really "awesome"? Same with the "Self-Hosted PaaS" section - how much curation has been done here? Some of them don't even appear to fit in this category.

The reason I do not want to remove them and would rather mark them as defunct is that founders or companies have put time and effort into creating a PR. I would not just delete stuff but rather do due diligence on their status occasionally.

I would argue all products that people put effort into, build, try to market, and put in front of people are awesome.

People make PRs, I review them, and many a time companies themselves have categorized them in the PR. You can argue with me that they don't fit, but many a time these companies or the founders choose the categories.

I like the historical parts of it with defunct (like dotCloud became Docker). From my space (PHP cloud) a couple of historical ones are missing: Pagoda Box (now merged into DO), CloudControl, PHP Fog, AppFog … But those are gone for a while now.

Was this done by claude design? I'm seeing this pattern/style on every output by claude design lately.

Yes

Yeah, dead giveaway is the pattern:

    X     |    XX    |    $XXX
  thing   |  things  |   raised

Great to see Disco is listed there. Thanks!

Kudos for the new landing page.

I didn't know that "Jamstack" was still a relevant term of art - I thought it'd gone the same way of LAMP.

It has. I have been maintaining this for past 5 years. It was relevant when I started this project.

for the buttons to open the remote pages... it would be nice if these were link-buttons with the actual url and rel="nofollow" so that I can explicitely right-click and open in a new tab as opposed to clicking through, which is kind of the same... but without navigating the the new tab.

Point taken. Let me see what i can do.

Just updated it. What do you think?

Much better, thanks.

i swear to god you tech bros (and claude design) have ruined narrow serif fonts in record time

It does not look so bad, does it?
