About BuiltByMe
BuiltByMe is a directory for indie makers and solo founders. The angle is two-sided: makers showcase their products, and visitors find tools built by other indie makers rather than by large companies.\n\n\n\n## For visitors\n\n\n\n- A browsable catalog of indie-built tools across AI, productivity, marketing, and developer tooling.\n\n- A leaderboard of trending products, useful for spotting what is getting attention this week.\n\n\n\n## For makers\n\n\n\n- Submit your product, get it in front of an audience that is specifically interested in indie-built work.\n\n- Gain visibility through the leaderboard if your product resonates.\n\n- Connect with other builders, which is the part that does not happen on a generic software directory.\n\n\n\n## Why indie directories work\n\n\n\nA directory that takes every submission loses signal. A directory with a clear point of view (in this case, "founder-built") filters for a particular kind of product. BuiltByMe is in that category.

What to consider before using BuiltByMe
BuiltByMe is one of many tools in its category. Before committing to it, weigh a few practical points that tend to decide whether a tool actually fits your work:
- Match the tool to your real task, not to its feature count. A tool that excels at your specific job beats one with a longer checklist you will never use.
- Check how it fits your existing workflow — integrations, export formats, and whether the output needs heavy manual cleanup.
- Read the license and pricing terms for commercial use, especially if you plan to publish or resell what the tool produces.
