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?

In Search of Organic Software

So over the last couple weeks, I’ve been talking to VCs and founders who have and haven’t taken VC to learn whether it makes sense for Kinopio. I don’t think it does.

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

would be down to help/contribute any way I can

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 😅

Going to scaffold this over the weekend hopefully and post a repo

Hey, this is actually a nice project. Please add Obsidian.

Happy too, or DM me your email and you can post it

Already added. Thank you.

We need some kind of "Certified Organic" svg sites can add to their footer if they want lol. Especially if it linked to something on built.organic as some kind of loose third-party verification.

I love that idea! Added mention of it: github.com/miniware/organ…

(Trying to T up as many ways as I can for design-only posts-pals to contribute too if they like)

**It's def an MVP** – I left the UI crunchy because I think that's the easiest place for posts peeps to contribute. So please fix it! Voting, invites, polish, & sustainability coming soon – with your help! PRs, discussions, and posts DMs wide open.

I like this design style. There was something like this a few years ago but that got acquired I think.

extremely into this, sending my email over now 🫡
