AlternativeTo
Not a launch spike. A slow compounding listing where people (and language models) go to find substitutes for tools they already know.
AlternativeTo is a user-opinion directory of software alternatives. People arrive with a job already in mind: they use X and want Y. That comparison intent is why listings here convert over months rather than hours, and why answer engines cite it when users ask for “best alternatives to …”.

A GEO-first directory. Instant listing plus backlink is paid; the free queue is slower. Not a substitute for Product Hunt — a vote in retrieval systems.
PeerPush is one of the first directories that says the quiet part out loud: the customer is no longer only a human browsing a board. The listing is structured so answer engines can cite the product when someone asks for tools in a category.
