BuiltByMe
Find the Tools You Need. Showcase the Tools You Built.
Product Overview
BuiltByMe is a productivity-focused directory where indie makers and solo founders showcase the tools they build. It’s designed to help people find niche SaaS, AI, and developer tools by browsing current rankings, weekly spotlights, and top makers.
The site also supports makers who want visibility: they can submit their product to climb the ranks and be featured. BuiltByMe highlights what’s new each week, including “This Week · May 18–24” launches, plus “Most Upvoted” and “Current Rankings” lists that make discovery and comparison straightforward.
Key features
- Current Rankings that surface what’s trending across indie-built tools
- Weekly Spotlight and “WINNER” highlights (e.g., weekly top product selection)
- Top Makers and an all-time Hall of Fame list to discover leading solo builders
- Most Upvoted and all-time top products lists for quick comparison by community votes
- Weekly launches calendar (“This Week · May 18–24”) to track what’s shipping next
- Product submission workflow to help makers get listed and compete for features
