directree - the honest software directory.
directree helps people find the right software with facts they can trust. Every listing separates what's verified from what's inferred: crawled facts (pricing, integrations, free plan, languages) are shown as observed data, AI-summarized fields are clearly labeled as AI-inferred, and each tool includes a plain "how we sourced this" note. Nothing is hidden behind vague scores.
Using directree is free for everyone. Founders can submit a tool in seconds, claim and edit their listing, and earn a Verified badge through genuine domain ownership - trust that's earned, never sold. Visitors browse by category, compare alternatives side by side, upvote, and comment.
A daily Community Showcase spotlights tools chosen by real member engagement, clearly marked so it never poses as a ranking. Optional Directree Plus adds extra visibility for founders who want a bigger stage - always upside, never a gate on the facts.
directree MicroLaunch.netdirectree's answer
I run several software products and kept running into the same frustration: every time I tried to get one of them listed and discovered, I couldn't quite trust the directories I was using. It was hard to tell a verified fact from marketing copy, and new or niche products barely got seen. I also noticed the same problem as a buyer. So I built the directory I wanted to exist - one that's honest about what it knows and how it knows it. It's also built for the shift happening right now, where more and more people find software by asking AI rather than scrolling a list.

Next.js, Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, Storage), Vercel (EU region), Stripe. SEO and GEO tooling built on DataForSEO, Google Search Console API, Google Indexing API, and IndexNow.
directree's answer
Every listing is upfront about how it knows what it claims. Verified facts look different from AI-inferred summaries, which look different again from something the real founder has come in and corrected. You always know which is which. There are no invented numeric scores - we use honest qualitative signals instead. And creating a listing isn't the same as owning it: anyone can submit a tool, but only someone who verifies control of the domain can edit it.
directree's answer
If you're a founder: you get a real, structured listing in about 30 seconds, a do-follow backlink when you claim it, and a directory where your listing can't be outranked by a competitor's ad spend. If you're a buyer: you get facts you can trace - not a black-box score. And because the listings are real and structured, they're also built to be cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, not just Google.
directree's answer
Two sides. Founders, indie hackers, and SaaS makers who want honest distribution and a do-follow backlink for their product. And buyers, developers, and marketers who are researching software and want listings they can actually trust - where every fact is clearly labelled by how we know it.

Really depends on the scale of your platform, data & transaction volume - such ACID distributed dbs would be handy for big fintech corporations. In my case, I just need a simple managed postgres for my launch platform (https://microlaunch.net), it's still transactional, but the platform isn't write intensive. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
My advice would be to make use of pre-launch platforms such as https://microlaunch.net or product hunt and other organic ways to gain traffic. Meanwhile, make sure your funnels converts, then think about Ads later on. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
What is your approximate DA (domain authority) score? What kind of content do your free tools provide? If it's AI-related, it just got heavily penalized by Google's latest announcements about depriorizing low-quality results. I'm adopting a similar strategy for https://microlaunch.net, long-term SEO + free toos. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Lately, I've been marketing my product launch platform (https://microlaunch.net) a lot, so each time I can focus on building it I feel happy. Also motivated to go out for a run, and chill with friends. The things I feel unmotivated about lately: social media, and administrative tasks. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
