seems cool; "Get services like MongoLab with a single click. We provision the account and inject the API keys via our gem or NPM. Use these addons on any platform or hosting solution, including locally."
Chris Tosswill
Founder of AddonList here, happy to answer anything!

AddonList got a ton of love a while back. Very cool to see you simplify the onboarding and management of developer tools, @Tosswill. Are you working with providers (e.g. Mailgun) to do this or do you have a script that registers/logs in on the user's behalf?
Chris Tosswill
@rrhoover we work with each provider to create the one-click install experience. This way it can be securely done via API instead of a scraper or something. We currently have 9 fully integrated addons and are launching more over the next few weeks.

@Tosswill What's your favorite service you have integrated, and why is it ReadMe? ;)
Chris Tosswill
@gkoberger I love ReadMe, anything that encourages developers to better document services is a real win :)
Ryan Hoover
Nice subtle plug, @gkoberger. ;)
Gregory Koberger
@rrhoover @tosswill haha I had to do *something*; AddonList has all the big name services everyone uses... and then mine :)

@gkoberger when is readme.io launching? I wanted to post you guys to producthunt, but it doesn't really seem to be open for signups yet.
Gregory Koberger
@_jacksmith hopefully soon; I have a few people using the beta and am ironing out some rough edges (BTW, just used Shyp a few days ago; absolutely loved it. Thanks!)
Chris Tosswill
@_jacksmith you can currently get ReadMe accounts through AddonList , I keep trying to get @gkoberger just to launch already. It works great, we use them for our partner docs.
Jack Smith
@Tosswill got a link to your partner docs so we can see what it looks like in the wild?
Gregory Koberger
@_jacksmith they're on the older, free version of readme, but you can get a basic idea: http://docs.addonlist.com/ (Big feature it's missing, other than looks, are the community stuff and the API browser)
