Hi there Product Hunters π
After 100s of apps and makers contributed to RBD, it was finally time to release v2!
New design, better performance, even better community.
With v2 you can now:
β¨ Explore categories and drill down into sub-categories
π© Easily find the most loved apps in our top 20 (updated daily)
π± See complete image galleries and product descriptions across iOS, macOS & Apple TV apps
Thank you all for contributing and making this platform a small gem of the indie community β€οΈ

@dan_mindruΒ Hey Dan, have been following you on X for a while, learned a ton from you,
Quick question: does RBD let makers submit their own apps or is everything curated?
PageAI
@ristan_nakkoΒ thanks so much for the kind words π
Anyone can submit apps, just raise a PR on https://github.com/danmindru/rare-big-deal
It's free of course π
It sounds great! If the product is built without AI feature is it acceptable for this platform?
PageAI
@dan_mindruΒ Glad to hear that! I will explore it later! Btw, congrats on the launch. :)

The homepage is overwhelming. The categories page brings the sanity back! Congrats on the launch.

@nuseir_yassin1Β thanks Nuseir, would love any suggestions for the home page!
Would you prefer just a selection of the best products? π
Nas.io
@dan_mindruΒ yes, maybe you can editorially control the homepage, since there is already a prominent above-the-fold CTA to visit category page. :)

@nuseir_yassin1Β ty for taking the time to give me some feedback, appreciate it! β€οΈ

Slick site, well, done. Off-topic, but can you shar
e your experience with shipixen? I see you built the site with this. Thanks!

@osakasaulΒ thanks so much Saul!
I would love to, but I'm afraid I won't be that objective haha.
I can only say: it's all static with no backend/no DB and it was fast to build and it's been scaling very well.
I act live streamed building it last year and you can see an older version of Shipixen in action over here:
It was extremely early AI, so beware π
Now the experience would be even smoother, Shipixen comes with rules for Cursor and Claude Code so it can basically 1 shot most things!
