Introducing BuiltByMe: Directory for Products Built by Indie Makers
BuiltByMe is a discovery directory for indie makers — weekly launches, live rankings, maker leaderboards, and a home to showcase independently built products.
Introducing BuiltByMe: Directory for Products Built by Indie Makers
Indie tools get lost between Product Hunt spikes and generic SaaS directories. BuiltByMe is a discovery home for products built by indie makers and solo founders — submit what you built, climb weekly rankings, and find tools other independents are shipping.
It sits in the creator / indie resources layer for makers who want peer discovery and a lightweight launch surface.
What BuiltByMe does
Indie product discovery and showcase:
- Weekly launches and live rankings — compete for the week’s spotlight and climb the board
- Submit your product — get in front of indie founders and early adopters browsing the directory
- Leaderboards and hall of fame — top makers and most-upvoted products over time
- Weekly spotlight — featured product storytelling beyond a single upvote spike
- Sponsor and promo options — directory sponsorship and related listing products called out on-site
- Indie-first positioning — built around solo founders and small maker teams, not enterprise catalogs

Who it is for
Indie makers, solo founders, and small product teams who want a directory audience that cares about independently built tools — and readers looking for fresh indie software.
Where it fits in a content stack
BuiltByMe owns indie launch → discovery, votes, and maker reputation. You still own the product marketing; BuiltByMe compresses peer distribution and weekly attention.
Why it matters now
Indie launches need more than one launch day. A living ranking and maker community is how small products keep getting found after the first spike fades.
How teams typically use BuiltByMe
A solo founder submits a new SaaS and campaigns for the weekly win. A maker browses launches for stack ideas. A tiny studio watches the leaderboard for collaboration or cross-promo partners.
Quick tips if you try BuiltByMe
- Time your submit for the weekly window when you can ask your audience to visit.
- Write a clear one-liner — directory browsers decide in seconds.
- Follow through after launch week — rankings and hall-of-fame momentum reward ongoing presence.
- Browse before submitting so your category and positioning fit the indie tone.
- Email hello@builtbyme.io for listing or partnership questions.
Soft close — related tool
If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when indie makers explain how a product works on video. Keep BuiltByMe as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
