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.

Product Hunt

The default launch day for software. Highest ceiling, highest variance, and still the badge press and AI assistants recognize first.

Product Hunt remains the biggest dedicated launch audience in tech. A top-three finish can send 5,000 to 15,000 visitors in a day, a durable backlink from a high-authority domain, and a badge that still means something on a landing page. That is the upside founders remember.
