Explore what founders, developers, creators, indie hackers, startups, and growing teams are building, discover new tools, and follow updates directly from their creators. Founders can list their products for free and build a permanent presence in the IndieTools directory. Products are ranked organically, so visibility isn’t determined by who pays the most to climb the rankings. Beyond the directory, IndieTools brings founders and products together through a social feed, founder profiles, product updates, direct messaging, and weekly discovery emails. Discover what’s being built, connect with the people behind it, and get your own product in front of an audience actively looking for new tools, startups, and ideas. ## Overview ### Who is it for? Founders, entrepreneurs, developers, creators, indie makers, startups, growing teams, and businesses building or discovering digital products. ### Problem Founders and product teams often struggle to get their products discovered in a crowded market. Traditional launch platforms can provide short-term visibility, but products quickly disappear from attention. IndieTools gives builders a permanent place to showcase their products, share updates, and connect with people interested in what they are building. ### Solution IndieTools lets founders and teams list their products for free and create a permanent presence in an organically ranked directory. They can build founder profiles, share product updates through the social feed, connect through direct messages, and reach people actively looking for new products, tools, and startups. Discovery is driven by genuine community interest and engagement rather than paid ranking positions. ### What makes it unique IndieTools combines product discovery with a founder-focused social layer. Instead of being only a launch-day platform or directory, products remain discoverable over time while founders can continue sharing updates, connecting with their audience, and building a presence around what they create. Paid options can provide additional exposure, but they do not determine organic directory rankings. ## Use cases 1. [Product discovery](https://www.scrolllaunch.com/use-cases/product-discovery) 2.
