There's a lot of those, especially with AWS products, where all but the product name is mentioned in the descriptions.
It's fun to play though :). Also amazing how many things there are.
Great community support
Flexible, powerful, simple
Superb api
Easy to learn and powerful to work with
mmk. Just shows how fluffy and not _actually_ useful SaaS descriptions can be - the only real clue here is "api", since one of the options was nginx, that helps a tiny bit."Free plan, nice ui, easy to use"
And there's 4 SaaS apps that I've never heard of--not that I could distinguish if I had heard of them.
Yeah, that bothered me a little. I was expecting something like interesting lesser-known features of popular standalone tools, from command line tools to plugins for text editors and IDEs. Instead it felt more like sponsored ads loosely presented as a quiz.
I probably wouldn't mind so much if the examples were then discussed. I might have missed it, but I couldn't even find a "read more" link about any of the products so if I hadn't heard of the examples then I've gained nothing from the exercise.
One to a StackShare profile and one to the website of the product.
That would be nice.
Instead it's a quiz where there are 8 subjective barely descriptive words (such as good ui, has app, etc..) and 4 saas products that I barely heard of and never used.
So, nice idea of the aim was to get people to discover new SaaS products using a playful game.
That being said, it's a fun little quiz, and I definitely understand that getting good clues is hard. Writing good clues for a quiz by hand is hard enough; using scraped/machine-collected clues makes it harder.
React? nope, PrestaShop
wut?
^ Describing AWS Lambda. May want to fix that one.
