Great catalog! Will you be adding other, more traditional categories? For example, I’d love to see what AI apps are available for tourism — that’s what I’m working on right now…
This looks really interesting! Rare Big Deal seems to address an important need.
A few questions I'm curious about:
1. What's been the biggest challenge in building this? 2. How do you see this evolving over the next year? 3. What feedback have you gotten from early users?
Excited to see where this goes! 🚀
I love your dark design and the mono type! Is it only for pasting offers like Appsumo or also launches?
It sounds great! If the product is built without AI feature is it acceptable for this platform?
I often browse GitHub randomly looking for cool indie open-source projects, so stumbling onto your platform was a pleasant surprise! Honestly, the daily Top 20 alone is enough to keep me busy all day, haha. Great job!
Website is slick brada!! Well done!!
Congrats on shipping RBD v2 🤝 the upgrade looks super super polished (the homepage looks like it's doing too much though), and it’s amazing to see a community-driven platform grow this much.
The new categories, daily top 20, and full galleries make discovery feel way more intentional. It’s clear how much love went into curating indie builders and their work.
What’s the biggest insight you’ve noticed from tracking which apps trend in the daily top 20?
Slick site, well, done. Off-topic, but can you shar
e your experience with shipixen? I see you built the site with this. Thanks!
The homepage is overwhelming. The categories page brings the sanity back! Congrats on the launch.

Who hunted RBD?
RBD was hunted by Dan Mindru. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
