Are there any alternatives to ProductHunt for launching small products?

Define small?

Things like mobile or desktop apps made by one-two people. Products that aren’t aimed at millions of people. Niche products. Does this definition works?

Yes, sorry I missed this notification! I’ve wanted to make a “certified organic” software directory for some time. Projects that are bootstrapped, by small teams, and don’t sell your data. @pketh has talked about this too, and has a great post about it! Are you making one?

a directory sounds like an awesome idea. An organic producthunt without VCWare sounds like a great idea too: - find apps that won't be killed. Made by people who care about more than their exit $. - discover the next amazing idea, without the fake hype/noise

Same here! I’d be glad to help. ProductHunt ended for me in 2020.

I have just the domain for this too, in my junk drawer 😅

Anyone know a non-giant-company transactional email provider? Seems all my favs have been acquired.

This is interesting, I’ll check it out - looking for an API though, so that this app can send magic links and notifications without making me poor

It’s not an indie company obviously but Amazon SES is very cheap.

I’ve heard delivery is not so good?

Not sure about that… I only used it for a small newsletter. Currently using ghost+mailgun on another project and got 100% delivery — to all 25 people. 😆
