Community

Guidelines

Keep it useful, interesting, and civil.

What belongs here

Useful articles, tools, resources, and projects
Interesting research, essays, and analyses
Products, services, and launches worth knowing about
Content from any domain: Tech, Business, Science, Design, and more

What does not belong here

No political content. This is a deliberate decision to keep the community focused and civil.
No spam, low-quality content, or link farms
No misleading titles or clickbait
No duplicate submissions. One listing per product. Versions of the same tool in different languages, on their own domains, count as separate products.
No personal attacks or harassment

Not accepted

Listings in these areas are removed, however well made:

Sexual or explicit (18+) products and content
Gambling, betting, and leveraged trading
Affiliate and referral-code pages, pages that exist to collect sign-ups through someone’s referral link
Pirated content and IPTV subscription resellers
Counterfeit or unregulated medicines, and grey-market software licences
Mass-produced listings: many near-identical listings from one account
Listings that don’t match the site they link to

When a site stops working

We check listings regularly. If your site stops loading, we email you and take the listing down so visitors don’t land on a broken page. Reply within 7 days and we’ll restore it exactly as it was, reactions and comments included. If your product has moved, send us the new link.

Listings that break these guidelines may be removed without notice or email.

Categories

Every link belongs to one of these six 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 — Businesses, agencies, and services, plus 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. That starts in the submit flow itself: the engagement gate asks you to visit and react to 3 new listings from other makers, so every launch begins by giving attention as well as asking for it. 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.
