I made a toolbox which includes tools from "Tools of the trade"/"Show HN". Glad to hear suggestions on how to make it (more) useful.

+1 for Trello, good for personal use.

Isn't this possible with cloudfront?

What are you going to host? static site or dynamic site, or just a wordpress site? How is the traffic of this site?

Some tools suggested from previous HN discussions:

Great discussion. Tools are in the box now.

Great job! I wouldn't have created http://hackertoolbox.com if I knew this. Time to kill myself!

Can you elaborate more?

It would be useful if hackers here can leave some reviews on http://hackertoolbox.com.

Hacker news is a great community for discussion, but how do the discussions[1] help people decide which tools they should consider? I doubt it's usefulness. How many times do you see people asking suggestions on which domain registrar is the best[2]? Today do you check Yelp before going to a new restaurant or asking that somewhere? I check what the top restaurants in the area and what the top dishes/food they provide. I buy products on Amazon after reading the reviews and feel uncomfortable to buy products with zero review and rating.

HackerToolbox wants to persist the great discussions/reviews and makes that for future use.

That's true. The feedback is user contributed. If you write one review on HackerToolbox, it will be more like Yelp :)
Thanks for asking the question.

I saved all the tools to the box :) Will check back later. http://www.hackertoolbox.com/tags/email%20hosting
