Some of the projects I've been working on include: 📱 NotLate – A wellness app designed to help with overthinking and restless nights. 💰 ZapSpend – An expense tracker with receipt scanning, voice input, and CSV/PDF exports. 🚛 Trucker Diary – An iOS app built for truck drivers. 🎵 Duo Vinyl – A digital vinyl turntable experience for music lovers. As a solo developer, one of my biggest challenges isn't just building products. It's getting them discovered, attracting users, and figuring out what actually works after launch. 🌐 https://www.adribyte-studio.com/mobile-apps #IndieHacker #IndieDeveloper #iOSDevelopment #SaaS #Startup

About online directories
Online directories are curated lists turned into products: niche listing sites, comparison catalogues, review platforms and the software that makes them. Examples include SaaS Surf, with tools for developers and makers, No Code Family, a review platform and community for no-code, SaaS Prices, which compares prices and alternatives for dev tools, and NexusAi, which helps people discover and compare AI tools. Developer tools, SaaS, startups and newsletters are the usual neighbours, since a good directory often grows into a newsletter or community.
What separates a useful directory from a link dump is curation. Check whether entries are reviewed or simply scraped, whether listings carry real details like pricing and alternatives, and how often they are updated. If you are listing your own product, look at whether the site brings genuine visitors in your niche, and whether it is clear about sponsored placement. If you are building one, directory software differs in templates, submission forms, search and monetisation options. Data ownership and export also matter if you plan to move later.
Indie makers run many of the best niche directories because deep focus beats breadth here. A small team that cares about one topic will usually keep entries accurate and answer questions. Awesome Indie follows the same principle: each submission is reviewed before it launches, the list is ranked by community upvotes, and paying never changes rank.
Frequently asked questions
How do I judge the quality of a directory?
Look for human curation, detailed entries with pricing and alternatives, regular updates and clear labelling of any sponsored placement. A directory with real search traffic in your niche is worth more than a large generic one.
What is the difference between a directory and a review site?
A directory lists products so they can be found, while a review site adds evaluations and ratings. Many combine both, so they may be listed in each category, and some also run a newsletter.
Can I build my own directory with these tools?
Yes, some products here are templates or software for running a listing site. Compare submission forms, search, monetisation and whether you can export your data, and plan the curation work, since software alone does not make a directory valuable.

Remember this little guy trying to make it to CapCut World LA? 🧶✈️🐋 https://x.com/AlexMoonAi/status/2120111488551591941 I'm happy to share that my entry was selected as the 6th-place winner of the #CapCutWorldLA Challenge on Contra! A tiny needle-felted version of myself, an unexpected journey, and a lot of visual storytelling — all brought to life with CapCut Video Studio. He arrived through a whale. And made it to the winners' list! 🎬🏆 #CapCutWorld #AiVideo #1000waystoccw #CapCut #Contra
While building PDF Fan, I had to separate two things people often mean by “clean up a PDF.” Removing metadata clears fields like the document title and author. It leaves visible text on the pages intact. To test the difference, make a sample PDF with the same phrase in its title and on page 1, then check both after cleanup. I built a browser-based tool for this so the original file stays on your device. https://pdf.fan/
