Show HN: Postmake – A directory of tools and resources for your projects

What an interesting concept. I wonder how the site generates traffic outside this one-time HN submission, and maybe some traffic from Product Hunt. There are a million sites competing for these same keywords (based on what's said in the Submit section), so I can't imagine Postmake getting anywhere far any time soon. Further, makes me wonder how much of that $100 goes towards marketing the site.

Neat. I like how Geekflare shows their traffic stats. https://geekflare.com/advertise/

Its more convincing than paying $100 alone with the hopes of getting exposure.

You forgot the last step "#Spend-your-money" with links to Lamborghini- and Ferrari-Shoping-Sites.

I like this a lot. Even though there are probably others similar out there, this one looks more straight to the point. It doesn't hide the actual link for the website and has a very good one line description for each product in a clean design.

I did hate the fact that I can only sign up with Twitter (or I missed a normal signup?). I also would love a way to bookmark and/or create lists for myself.

There's so much content that having a simple "check out later" button would be a big time saver for me.

Thanks! I tried to keep this as relevant as possible by only showing the most important stuff: pricing and a quick description.

The idea behind sign-ups was so that users would upvote and leave reviews. I needed something that's associated with a "public" identity. I'm still toying with this honestly.

Re the check out later button – what did you have in mind, outside signing up for the newsletter?

It's not really the tool's purpose. I was thinking of a favorites list for me to not lose track of what I liked. Or perhaps create different lists for ease of use.

Really not something I can't do with a list of my own, but I'd love having it easy to use on the site.

The signup is sad because I don't use social media, so I hate when sites alienate me.

Would keybase be an option? I do realize not everyone use it.

What all similar sites are you aware of ? Would love to check them out. there should be a Directory of "Directory of tools and resources". One-stop solution.

"Awesome" lists are kind of like this. https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome

Stackshare[0] is decent when it comes to tech-focused stuff.

Fantastic! Well done!

Nice! I would like the feature to be able to comment on projects. But it's an amazing tool!

Actually you can, but to prevent abuse you'll need an account to do that. I'll try making this more obvious.
