DevHunt
Open-source launch board. Voting requires GitHub, which kills fake rings. If you do not build for developers, skip it.
DevHunt exists because developers got tired of tourist traffic on general boards. Listings are for APIs, SDKs, infra, and open source. GitHub login is required to vote, which is both a spam filter and a culture gate.

Spaces, models, and papers are how ML products get discovered. A README and a working Space beat any hunt badge. Irrelevant if you do not ship machine learning artifacts.
Hugging Face is the public square for open models and demos. Trending Spaces, model cards, and collections are the discovery mechanics. Assistants already treat HF URLs as canonical for model metadata.
