15 second whirlwind test of 13 sandstorm apps

About 15 seconds evaluation time per app from Apps · Sandstorm Oasis, using sandstorm.io's demo account that is automatically created for you, try it out yourself - it is very quick and seamless!

Just select install for an app and you will get the option to try it out on their demo server.

I have starred my favorites below with ****, and I have not rated the other ones; they may still be good. Please note that 15 seconds of testing time per app is not a lot of time :)

The reason so many get stars is probably because I selected the ones I was interested in.

• MediaGoblin - no bulk upload
• Lychee - Photo manager with albums and drag-and-drop upload ****
• Davros - OwnCloud compatible file manager with drag-and-drop and desktop clients, seems awesome ****
• Telescope - posting of links
• Hacker CMS - Disarmingly simple, actually quite nice ****
• Tiny RSS reader - Works fine, can pick up feeds automatically from parsing HTML Pages, works at least with this blog! ****
• Apache Wave - Old Google Wave, or new Google Wave I suppose.
• Framadate - Your own doodle for scheduling meetings. confusing use of check marks and a bit worse handling of times than Doodle, but otherwise fine ****
• Giftr - an app for coordinating your friends gift-giving to you, simple but probably does the job, hard to gauge in a single-user demo environment
• Let's chat - "Error: remote exception: remote exception: remote exception: remote exception: remote exception: remote exception: connect(): Connection refused C++ location:(remote):?? type: disconnected"
• Dillinger - Markdown editor works, but then again how could it not? It is basically all client side, nothing stored server side afaict.
• FileDrop - Simple, can see use for it just between your own computers. The Hacker CMS and the Media Goblin could use this drag-and-drop stuff ****
• Rocket chat - impressive, haven't tried the voice chat ****
