Need your advice for Startup Buffer

Hello everyone,

Background:
I have been building and maintaining Startup Buffer (https://startupbuffer.com) for more than 5 years on the side. I bought the domain in 2014, got the first paying customers on September, 2015.

More than 10000 startups are submitted, around 6000 of them published so far. Every one of them reviewed manually 😀

Question:
So, I am planning to work on a new version of the project. Even though, it is basically a startup directory at the moment, we have have some paying customers. I would like to get your suggestions and ideas on how to make it better in a way that can provide more value to startups and differentiate from others that are doing almost what we are doing at the moment. Also, I always want to build my own SaaS project, what are the simple software project that can be helpful to startups or people who are trying to discover new startups.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mehmet
