For those of you that will miss Cue and Greplin, there is hope. We are about to release our cloud search feature at StartHQ.

Here's a screencast - search is towards the end: https://www.dropbox.com/s/04rrwxuuvkzpyrp/starthq.mp4

You can sign up here: https://starthq.com

Please use the Feedback form to let us know which services you'd like us to support and we will prioritize them for launch.

PS. For a bit of background on us, here's a blog post that was on the front page of HN on Monday http://www.arcticstartup.com/2013/09/30/starthq-capitalizes-...

PPS. Sad to see Greplin go, loved the service but was too afraid to give access to my data at all times, so ended up building our federated search which doesn't require that. Would be very interested to know more about what happened.

This has nothing to do with Cue/Greplin.

Does it matter? he advertises that page on pretty much all of his comments.

Yes, I do promote my startup whenever I can, but am always on topic. Why the negativity? Is it wrong to be vocal or do you feel like I'm dancing on Greplin's grave?

Your post comes across (to me) as self-serving and somewhat socially awkward. The "PS" and "PPS", in particular, are quite crass and not the way to promote a company. You seem like someone who meets me at a keg party and jumps right into a pitch as soon as I tell you my name.

No offense; I just prefer HN comments to be less blatantly promotional.

I can't reply to Chris' comment for some reason, so posting the reply here:

I'm sorry that I came across as crass and socially awkward - I hope I can prove to you that I'm not so bad in person one day.

The PS and PPS are edits because I got excited about what this meant for us and realized I was being too self promotional esp. to people that knew nothing about us, so thought I'd give some background and clarify my feelings.

PS. No offence taken :)

Did you watch the screencast to the end? i ran a search and got personalized results from all my web apps like Gmail and AngelList. How is this not like Greplin?

I know you're just trying to promote your company, but it feels a little like handing out business cards at a funeral. Sure, you can do it, but it seems little tacky. This post is still in the mourning phase. It will probably move on to the post-mortem, what is a replacement for it phase tomorrow or Friday.

So it did come across as dancing one Greplin's grave - thank you for clarifying that.

I'm sorry. Next time I'll refrain from posting comments when I've only had two hours of sleep the night before.
