Kickstart Exchange

Free, 100% private indie-app marketing exchange from Paul Hudson. In beta.

by @twostrawsAdded Aug 19, 2026

It's not easy for indie developers to market their app, but I've built a solution that works for everyone – and it's both free and 100% private. It's called Kickstart Exchange, and it enters beta today. Find out more here: exchange.kickstart.tools

FutureTools dumps 4000 apps on you. Product Hunt drowns signal in launch chaos. MakerBeacon takes the opposite bet: a tight, curated devtool radar for solo builders and indie devs. Live soon.

Reachable

An advisory names the package. This tells you whether you installed the bad version while it was still live.

An advisory tells you the package and the affected versions. It cannot tell you the only thing that matters on the day: whether *you* installed the bad version while it was still live. So I built something that answers that. It's called Reachable. reachable-lac.vercel.app

fuck it, outbid.lol made 93k in revenue then came its copy, topapp.lol, that's also getting traffic, but for iOS apps. so, to add one for other types of tools, I built my own one: Chrome extensions, dev tools, Android apps -> toolbid.lol
