Chrome Web Store

If the product is a browser extension, this is the launch. Google’s review, listing quality, and ratings are the game. Product Hunt is optional theater afterward.

Chrome Web Store search and category pages are how most extensions get installed. A complete listing (screenshots, privacy, single purpose) and a clean review matter more than any hunter board. Review time is not your calendar.

Futurepedia

Smaller than TAAFT, more editorial. Newsletter is the upside. Still a directory, still not a hunt.

Futurepedia lists AI tools with a tighter editorial filter than the giant catalogs and pushes many of them through an email list. Getting in is a listing plus a chance at subscribers who actually asked for AI tools.
