Categories

Every link belongs to one of these four categories. Pick the one that fits best — the community will let you know if you got it wrong.

AI Tools — Models, APIs, agents, prompting guides, benchmarks, and developer tooling for AI/ML. New model releases, frameworks like LangChain or DSPy, and anything that helps people build with or understand AI.
Dev Tools — Libraries, CLIs, platforms, and workflows that help developers ship faster. Editors, testing frameworks, hosting services, database tools, CI/CD, and open-source infrastructure.
Design — Visual tools, UI/UX resources, no-code builders, and design systems. Figma plugins, prototyping tools, Webflow themes, icon packs, font releases, and design thinking essays.
Indie — Self-funded products, indie apps, side projects, and bootstrapped SaaS. Launch announcements, solo-builder stories, revenue teardowns, and anything made by a small team or solo founder.
Business — Company-building, growth strategy, finance, and operations. SaaS metrics deep-dives, fundraising takes, pricing experiments, hiring frameworks, and essays on running a business.
Writing — Long-form essays, newsletters, journalism, and personal writing worth reading. Pieces that make you think, not just skim.

Self-promotion

Promoting your own work is welcome — you just contribute first. Your first “Made by” post is free. After that, each one is earned: leave a genuinely useful comment on someone else’s link, or share something the community reacts to. You’re never blocked mid-submission — a post you haven’t earned yet is held and goes live the moment you do. Generic praise (“looks great”) doesn’t count toward earning; say something specific. In a hurry, you can publish a held post right away for $5 from your wallet — that buys publishing only, never ranking.

How ranking works

Links are ranked by a hot score that rewards useful, interesting, and loved content while penalizing reports and aging naturally over time. Campaign ads appear in the feed clearly labeled as Sponsored or Featured — they do not affect organic rankings.

Reporting

Use the flag icon on any link to report it. Reports are reviewed by moderators. Links that violate guidelines will be removed. Repeat offenders may be banned.
