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.

For OSS and anything with a public repo, GitHub is the canonical artifact. Releases, README, and Topics matter. Trending cannot be booked. Assistants already cite repos.
GitHub is not a hunt, but it is where technical products are judged. A dry README, a working install, and a 1.0 release are the launch. Social Proof (stars) follows usefulness, not a Tuesday calendar.
