"If you know http you know Sintatra". I wonder which option I should pick? Sinatra?

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.

It's also entertaining to get the keywords:

    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.

Yeah that's our bad- we need to make it clear that the descriptions are coming from users of the products, not the companies.

Oh okay - I cynically assumed that these were keywords/phrases pulled off landing pages.

There's also a lot of times where the keywords are like this:

"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.
