RBD is a platform that celebrates indie makers and their hard work. It's also an open source community and an acknowledgement of the hard work that went into shipping beautiful apps that change the world!

Congrats on shipping RBD v2 🤝 the upgrade looks super super polished (the homepage looks like it's doing too much though), and it’s amazing to see a community-driven platform grow this much. The new categories, daily top 20, and full galleries make discovery feel way more intentional. It’s clear how much love went into curating indie builders and their work. What’s the biggest insight you’ve noticed from tracking which apps trend in the daily top 20?

How do you guarantee submissions are both rare and big?
Dan Mindru
@chrismessina haha great question. Luckily most indie developers leave marketing to "next week" and so they are quite rare. And they seem to have been generous with the discounts, therefore the "big" 😁

I love your dark design and the mono type! Is it only for pasting offers like Appsumo or also launches?

Dan Mindru
@pasha_tseluyko thanks Pavel, it's only for offers at the moment but launching could be an interesting addition 👀

This looks really interesting! Rare Big Deal seems to address an important need.

A few questions I'm curious about:

1. What's been the biggest challenge in building this?
2. How do you see this evolving over the next year?
3. What feedback have you gotten from early users?


Excited to see where this goes! 🚀

Great catalog! Will you be adding other, more traditional categories? For example, I’d love to see what AI apps are available for tourism — that’s what I’m working on right now…
