Why I Built Next Big Product: A Marketing Platform for New Software
As a developer and product lover, I’ve always enjoyed discovering new tools—especially the ones flying under the radar. But time and time again, I noticed how hard it is for early-stage products to get seen. Most launch platforms are noisy, algorithm-driven, or just favor products with large followings.
So I built NextBigProduct — a simple, focused marketing platform where new software can shine.
It’s designed to help indie founders and devs:
Get early feedback from real users
Build an audience without begging for upvotes
Share their product consistently, not just at "launch"
I’m still in the early stages, but already seeing traction and some really cool tools being submitted.
If you're building something, I’d love to feature it—or if you’re just a curious user, come explore. Would love your thoughts or feedback!
Aloha Ankur,
I love what you're building with Next Big Product — helping startups grow and solve real problems.

Open to part-time or freelance. Let me know if you could use a hand!
Hello
Good to know. For now, we have already good small team, will definitely keep in mind if we need similar help.
Aloha Ankur,
Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply — totally understand, and I really appreciate you taking the time. Wishing you and the team all the best as you build things out! I’ll be cheering from the sidelines and would love to reconnect down the road if things change.
Love the mission behind NextBigProduct. It hits on a real frustration point for indie founders. Discovery and early traction are often the hardest parts of the journey, and I like that you’re shifting focus away from one-off 'launch days' toward ongoing visibility. I peeked at the site and it looks clean and intuitive. Curious: are you thinking about adding any positioning tools or messaging guidance to help founders sharpen how they present their products? Would be a natural complement. Cheering you on, this space needs fresh ideas!
Hi @notthilfigerr
Thanks for the appreciation. And yes, we do not want to be just another launch site or a directory, We are aiming to provide real platform for softwares, not just during launch. We are working on many features like founder / makers can post anything about their softwares, like feature requests, or customer validation for new features, feedback etc, we already have AMA section with founders, where user can ask anything about software.
Thanks again for the good words.
Ankur.
That sounds like a solid direction, Ankur. Turning NextBigProduct into an ongoing engagement hub, not just a launch spike, is a real differentiator. The AMA, feedback, and validation tools could become core loops if positioned right. Let me know if you'd ever like to bounce around ideas on how to frame that narrative sharply. I'd be happy to jam on it!
