We also launched a similar service in the past like 3-4 years back and trust me it doesn't work as you think. The problem is with the product-market fit. It is very hard to find the right people for your service and the fierce competition from all the major players makes it even harder.
If you are truly involved in the service then don't wait for the people to find and reach out to you, instead try to find the right audience and reach out to them. I know it is tougher than saying. We've tried it but unfortunately, it didn't work as we planned and that's why we shut it down after just 6 months.
Nevertheless, at least try it first. All the best.
Themes For App : https://themesfor.app
It is a site where you can download free bootstrap templates for your side-projects.
I've been running it for over 5 years now and earned zero out of it. First thing that I want to mention is that in the first place, it was not my primary intension to earn from it but from the start of this year I have started looking forward to monetizing it.
At the moment it costs me $0 to run except the standard domain cost. But in starting it costs me $500+ for the ESP.
I'm currently curating Initiator Creator, https://initiatorcreator.com which is a newsletter for all the professionals like us. Also, exploring React-Next-Firebase based projects.
Great collection! But there is one thing that I noticed. The loading of images on the landing page is slow. Also, it taking some hiccups while scrolling. Are you using some sort of sheet to site solutions like Pory or sheet2site?

If you have any question or suggestion please feel free to ask or share.
Hi! Your questions are not offensive, in fact, I find it essential to add this to the faq on our site. Maybe it is right time to share who I am and why I have started it.
I (Saurabh) and my brother (Shashikant) are full stack developers. We had started our carrier as the freelance front-end developer and website troubleshooter. We had worked for 3 years before starting a small web studio (1.5 years back).
Throughout these years we have maintained a spreadsheet of interesting and essential resources and tools. We have also frequently used start up stash and similar sites to find what is best.
But we have faced a number of problems during this period like to find which tools are better, what are the latest tools and which are the tools that others are using. And also the problems regarding frequently updating the spreadsheet.
So simply we thought it is a great idea to make a community-curated resource and tools directory where users can suggest latest tools, share their views/discuss and upvote the tools that they have used and satisfied with. That's why we have started Engigogo.com as a small side-project.
Engigogo is at its initial stage and only a few weeks old.
From the day we have started working on Engigogo, we have encountered with a number of interesting resources, tools, and links that are awesome but unfortunately don't directly fall into any of the Engigogo's library.
We thought it could be better if we share these links and tools with other similar thinkers. That's why we have started Engigogo Digest.
As you can see on Engigogo Digest's website, it is a publication type site where everyone can read the newsletter and don't even need to subscribe the newsletter. We have made it that way because our purpose is NOT to grab your email id, instead, we just want to share what we have found interesting.
If you find it interesting then you can visit the site every week and you don't need to subscribe it. The subscription part is just to make it easy to have the latest issues in the inbox instead of visiting the site every week.
I hope I've answered all your questions. And thank you for asking and giving us the opportunity to introduce our self and motto.
