Where do you list your project?
I’m putting together IndieNeed’s directories page as a simple place to find useful directories when you’re ready to share a project.
If you’re building a directory, or know a good place makers should list, I’d love to hear about it: https://www.indieneed.com/directories
What directories or discovery helpers have been useful for you?
Makes sense. Are you planning to charge for it, or keep it free for now?
Nice progress. What is the next thing you are focusing on?
Clear and practical, thanks. Did anything surprise you along the way?
Really relatable. How much time do you put into this each week?
Good point. Did you test that with users before committing to it?
Really relatable. How much time do you put into this each week?
Good write-up. What would you do differently if you started again?
The useful version of a directories page is not the list, it is one column saying whether a listing still does anything. Most of these pages are fifty links where half the sites are abandoned and you cannot tell which half. Two things worth recording per directory: whether the listing page actually gets indexed, which you can check by searching the name of a product listed there, and whether the outbound link is followed. For most makers the durable value of a listing is search visibility months later rather than the referral spike in week one, and those two checks sort the list by exactly that.
