Masashi Yamane's profile on Product Hunt

About

Software developer and operator focused on building meaningful web services. Currently, I am the founder of FindUpApp, a discovery engine dedicated to uncovering high-quality niche apps that are often buried under the shallow, generic categories of official stores. I am passionate about using AI and deep categorization to improve the app search experience for both users and developers. I leverage my background in software development and insights into SEO/ASO to build scalable, user-centric platforms that solve the "discoverability" problem. Always open to connecting with fellow makers and publishers! I’m a helpful Japanese developer passionate about global app discovery. If you’re curious about the Japanese app market, feel free to ask me anything — I’d be happy to share my insights!

Count Artisan 匠: Tally Counter - Never Miss a Count: Precision Tally with Real-Time History

While many apps offer history logs, "Count Artisan 匠" changes the game by displaying your recent activity and timestamps directly on the counting screen in real-time. No need to switch tabs or open menus. You can see exactly when and what you counted at a glance, supporting high-precision tracking for users who need to minimize errors. Built specifically for Android with native, smooth controls—like volume-key counting—it packages all essential tally functions into one powerful tool.

Major Update: FindUpApp now supports 20 languages!

Hi everyone! I m back with another big update. To help indie apps reach a truly global audience, I have expanded FindUpApp to support 20 languages!

Here is what s new and how it works:

Global Visibility: You can now browse, search, and discover apps in 20 different languages, making it easier for developers to connect with users from all over the world.
Full 20-Language AI Summaries: To make your launch effortless, our AI now automatically translates and generates clean app summaries across all 20 supported languages. Your app's core value will instantly be readable by global audiences in their native tongue!
Smooth Navigation: The overall user interface has been localized to support this expansion, making the directory feel native and seamless no matter where you are visiting from.

My goal is to make FindUpApp a place where great, niche apps from any country never go unnoticed.

Major Update: Introducing Secondary Categories!

Hi everyone! I just rolled out a significant update to FindUpApp to help you discover relevant apps more accurately.

What s new:

Secondary Categories: You can now assign an additional sub-category to apps. No more struggling to pick just one!
Better "Related Apps" Logic: I ve implemented a new scoring algorithm that prioritizes "cross-matches" (where Category A meets Category B).
Fresh Discovery: The related apps section now features improved randomization, ensuring you find something new every time you visit.

These changes make the app directory much more intuitive and true to how apps actually function in the real world. Check it out and let me know what you think!
