   Have a look here: https://starthq.com/apps/?category=collaboration We just added the country where each SaaS app is hosted, so you should be able to find some EU based alternatives to Box quickly.

   If you still haven't found a replacement, here's our list of alternatives that was on the front page of HN on Friday: https://starthq.com/apps/?q=reader It now includes the additions mentioned in the comments

   There is one downside to share links vs. buttons: visitors can't see how many times the page has already been shared. At https://starthq.com we've opted for a half way solution by confining the share buttons to individ

   Makes sense. Send me a tweet @starthq when you get around to adding the feed and I'll include it in the directory.

   Looks really well designed! I added it to our list of reader alternatives here: https://starthq.com/apps/kouio As a sidenote: I think it's quite ironic that your blog doesn't have an RSS feed. I noticed the s

   Fair point, although Google Reader is a web app so I think its safe to assume that a viable alternative to it should also be accessible via the browser on any platform.

   StartHQ is primarily a business web app directory, so unfortunately we couldn't include Player. Does look good though.

    Please do vote for the reader you're using by liking or tweeting its page - would be great to see which of the alternatives is most popular on HN! Btw, you can see the underlying Alex reach by clicking the question mark icon.

    Yeah, most of these appeared in the last couple of months, which is pretty impressive.

    Looks good, but I decided not to list open source alternatives that you need to self host, since most non technical users wouldn't be able to do that.

    We tried integrating with TOSDR and similar services via their APIs at https://starthq.com , but it quickly became clear that the number of services they cover is too low for it to be useful. I do appreciate the effort though!

    This is great! Are you thinking of making the list of offers available via RSS or an API? We would love to link to them from our web app directory at https://starthq.com

    IT departments will exist but their role will change as the majority of companies move towards SaaS. At https://starthq.com we are working to make their job easier by making it possible to manage the various SaaS apps, accounts and integr

    This definitely requires more explanation before I pay $20 bucks for it. Personally, the most useful canvas I've found while working on StartHQ has been the Lean Canvas from Ash: https://starthq.com/apps/lean-canvas

    We are using Node at https://starthq.com and I agree with most of the points above. Error handling is the major issue, because you need to handle all errors manually, i.e. you can't use try catch to trap all errors further down the stack.

    We do something similar via text saying "if you want X, get in touch via the feedback form" before implementing features.

    This may be the case for pure single page apps, but any real world application will have some pages you want to load faster and have easily indexed by search engines. At https://starthq.com we started out as a single page app with a RESTf

    I've played around with IFTT and Zapier and found both quite limiting. I wished I could just write code to connect the APIs exactly the way I wanted. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
