I made an open source directory of where to showoff your projects
I made an open source directory for sharing projects Ever wondered how to show off that something you just built? Look no further! Awesome Launch is meant to be a list of communities and forums you can share your projects to get feedback or your first users. Anyone is free to contribute sites and resources. Hope you enjoy!
I made an open source directory of where to showoff your projects launched on January 16, 2025 with 185 votes, #215 of 6,141 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Awesome Launch is an open source directory of communities and forums where developers can share their projects to gather feedback and find early users. The resource compiles platforms and sites suitable for showcasing newly built work. It is designed for makers and developers seeking places to launch their projects. The directory is community-maintained, allowing anyone to contribute new sites and resources to the collection.

Awesome DirectoriesNov 2025 · awesome-directories.com · ▲11Hi HN, I spent 20 hours manually researching "best startup directories" for my last launch. Found outdated GitHub lists, dead links, and no data on which directories actually matter. So I built this instead. *Live*: https://awesome-directories.com *GitHub*: https://github.com/awesome-directories/awesome-directories *What It Is* An open-source aggregator of 300+ verified launch directories with: - Domain Rating scores (Ahrefs), dofollow/nofollow badges, pricing filters - Community voting, favorites, and submission tracking per project - CSV export and…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
