This site aims to be an organized directory of resources. Easy to browse by category or search. But it does have some long form descriptions and tutorials like a blog. It tries to be best of both.

Click here for several good directories showing the different no-code tools

thefullstack.network - New cool site features web app developers’ side projects.

makeuseof.com - Very good articles. It’s a big blog site. But there’s enough content here to call it a directory of resources. However, it’s still organized like a big blog and focuses too much on entertainment and gadgets.

producthunt.com - Discover innovative new software, tools, and digital products.

indiehackers.com - Browse through their amazing community discussions! Share! Discover! Get inspired! Enjoy building! If you just want to discover a new product, go to ProductHunt. If you want to talk about it, especially in the idea/development/POC stage, Indie Hackers is a really great community to chat with.

startups.fyi - A simple list of interesting new products, tools and web apps.

freestuff.dev - For developers - a good list!

2fa.directory - For nerds and programmers. A useful directory organized neatly into categories.

saashub.com - Great UI. Easy to browse. Very many apps. Sorted by users. Sadly, many of the new innovative but not yet popular services are ranked at the bottom of the list, among the inferior apps, and many of the very new ones haven’t even been added yet. And, this doesn’t have free or DIY tools.

g2.com - Real reviews and good ranking. Categories and suggested alternatives are not relevant though.

alternativeto.com - Like g2, but with more info about each site, and screenshots. Good alternatives.

getapp.com/browse - Great real user reviews about all the different software tools.

gartner.com - They create “magic quadrants” categorizing large companies into “leaders”, “visionaries”, ”challengers”, “niche players”. Those charts (and their entire website) however are just advertisements for their consulting business. You’ll can “become a client” for them to show the reasoning behind those charts to you. :) It’s inspiring how such a simple consulting strategy has reached such success.

martechbase.com/marketing-technology-companies - Lists of 7000 tools by marketing category. There are too many, no descriptions, and not sorted by relevance. But an impressively extensive collection.

free-for.dev - Good lists of resources, organized by category. All free!

choosestack.com/blog - Not many resources, but good blog articles. Worth joining their newsletter.

appmagic.rocks/top-charts/apps - iOS/Android apps leaderboard - by most popular, most revenue, etc.

failory.com - their “tools” are not very useful yet, but checkout the “graveyard” and podcasts. It’s a fun and informative resource to go back in time, with hindsight wisdom, to see products from the recent past.

awesomerepos.io - curated lists of github repos sorted by popularity (not updated in years)

dataviz.cafe - Great layout. Data visualization tools.

about.start.me - homepage dashboard - “turn your start page into a productivity hub”

www.freshbooks.com/hub - financial resources for small businesses

zenn.dev - great tools for programmers. Too bad it’s all in Chinese (try using Google Translate)

gist.github.com/bradtraversy/61171a9b81586f5bc4c0ca1e2beb59ab - nerdy web productivity tools

remote.tools - Used to be pretty good, but they’ve redesigned and now the UI/UX is terrible! If you scroll all the way down (on the homepage and also on each category page), you can still get the content.

AppSumo.com - A Groupon for software? A new app directory? Growing in popularity!

bankrate - a collection of knowledge and product comparisons about finances, monetized by affiliate links (also nerdwallet and other blogs are doing similar things, but bankrate homepage is very good!)

100.exposed - Similar to this site. Very few pages, incomplete, but the ones available are good quality! Best one is tools for Notion

alexglv.com/notion-tools - Only for Notion, but great interface! See this guy on Twitter/Youtube. I think he's going to expand into other online startup resources soon.

StartupStash.com - This used to be very popular. Sold to a big company. Now it's like any other directory, selling out top spots to the highest bidder. A lot of irrelevant and outdated content. Awkwardly designed and organized. Often broken. Might still be worth checking out though, for the long lists of tools. Just keep in mind that it might be missing some newest tools, and the tools at the top of their lists are not necessarily the best.

What makes Techy.Tools better?

Free business and productivity research. No ads. No clutter. No nonsense. Curated and maintained with integrity. If a site has an affiliate program, we will take advantage of it, but will NOT promote it more than other tools. If something is not useful, we will never include it. Only relevant tools, ranked by innovation and utility, with great organization and UI. Our business model.
