TAAFT charges $300 to list your AI tool. Futurepedia is dying. We built the free alternative.

There's An AI For That has 9M visitors and charges $300 to list your tool.

Futurepedia peaked at 2M visitors, now under 500K and still falling. No community, no upvotes, just a static database.

So we built FutureStack. Free forever. Real upvotes from real users. Role-based discovery so the right people actually find your tool. Win Stack of the Day and get a backlink badge for your site.

Submit your tool: usefuturestack.com/submit

Takes 2 minutes, no fee. Go upvote something and tell me what's missing.

Looking for a Growth & Marketing Co-Founder for an AI Startup

Hey everyone,

I'm building FutureStack, an AI tools discovery platform that helps people find the right AI tools through community recommendations, reviews, and curated stacks.

The problem we're solving is simple: thousands of AI tools launch every month, but discovering the right ones is still fragmented across Google searches, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and social media.

We're building a place where users can discover, compare, review, and discuss AI tools in one community-driven platform.

The MVP is already live, and we're currently focused on growing through SEO, content, Reddit, social media, and community building.

I'm looking for a co-founder who is passionate about growth and marketing. Someone interested in SEO, content, social media, newsletters, community building, or organic user acquisition.

This is an equity-based co-founder opportunity, not a salaried role. I'm looking for someone who wants to help build and own a meaningful company for the long term.

If you're interested in AI, startups, and building something from the ground up, send me a message. I'd love to chat.

What AI tool are you building? Let's self promote.

What are you building or planning to ship for the rest of 2026?

I run usefuturestack.com, a free community-driven directory for discovering AI tools.

Drop your AI tool or startup idea in the comments, I'll check it out and add it to the directory.

Let's make this thread a place to promote what you're building, find collaborators, and connect with other people building in AI.

I made a free list of 100+ places to launch your startup, SaaS, or side project

I kept seeing founders ask the same question: "Where should I launch my product besides Product Hunt?"

So I made a GitHub repo with 100+ launch directories, startup platforms, SaaS directories, AI tool directories, and communities where makers can submit their product.

I tried to include useful details like:

• Who the platform is best for

• Whether submission is free or paid

• Estimated audience size

• Submission time

• SEO/backlink value

• Direct submission links

The goal is simple: help indie makers get their first users, backlinks, and visibility without spending money on ads.

Would love feedback from other founders. And what launch directories or platforms should I add?

I built a community-driven AI tools directory and would love brutal honest feedback

Hey everyone, I've been building FutureStack (usefuturestack.com), a free, community-driven directory to discover and compare 100+ AI tools. Think of it as a place where you can filter by category (writing, coding, video, voice AI, agents, etc.), by your role (developer, founder, marketer, content creator), and by pricing, so you actually find tools relevant to you, not just whatever's trending on Twitter.

The community side of it lets you upvote tools, leave reviews, and submit new ones.

I've been heads-down building it and haven't gotten enough outside perspective, so I'd genuinely love some feedback from people who actually use AI tools day-to-day.

Specifically curious about:

- First impressions: Does the homepage make it immediately clear what the site does?
- Discovery experience: Is it easy to find what you're looking for? Does the filtering work well for you?
- Missing features: Is there anything you'd want that isn't there? (comparison tables, collections, user lists, etc.)
- Trust: Does the community/upvote system feel legit, or does it feel like tools are gaming it?
- Anything that felt broken or confusing: I'm not here to pitch it. I genuinely want to know what's working and what isn't. Roast it if you need to, that's more useful than compliments.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Just created a new room: AI Tools.

A place to talk about new AI tools, discover hidden gems, and share the tools you're actually using.

AI tools are launching every day. Thought it would be fun to have one place where we can discuss the best ones together.

Let's move 🔥

Building an AI tools directory. Does anyone actually want this?

I've been using AI tools directories for a while, and honestly, they're all kind of a mess.

Static lists with no reviews. Ugly UI. No way to tell if a tool is actually good or just paid to be there. No filters for what you actually need, like "I'm a student" or "I'm a freelancer." Just endless scrolling through irrelevant stuff.

So I started building one myself. Cleaner UI, community-driven, upvotes and reviews so you actually know what works. Filters by role and category so you find the right tool faster. Plus a daily featured tool. Free forever for users.

Before I go further, I genuinely want to know:

Do you actually use these directories, or do you just Google it every time?

What frustrated you the most about the existing ones?

Would a cleaner, more community-driven version make you actually use it?

If you're curious, the platform is called FutureStack (usefuturestack.com), but more than anything, I'd love your honest feedback and to know which AI tools you'd want to see on there that never make it onto the usual sponsored lists.

Drop your thoughts below. Even if it's "this already exists, and you're wasting your time," I want to hear it.
