Why we built FindFans instead of another creator directory
Hi Product Hunt! š
Over the past year we've been working on FindFans - an independent creator discovery platform built around one simple idea:
Finding public creator profiles shouldn't feel impossible.
Most existing directories are difficult to search, cluttered with ads, or don't provide enough information to help people discover creators they'll actually enjoy following.
So we decided to build something different.
Our focus is on:
ā¢ AI-assisted profile organization
ā¢ Advanced filtering by niche, location, categories and keywords
ā¢ Structured creator profiles
ā¢ Community reviews and favorites
ā¢ Fast search experience
ā¢ Verified creator profiles
We aren't trying to replace creator platforms.
We're trying to make discovery significantly better.
One interesting challenge has been balancing automated indexing with human-reviewed profile quality. Search relevance turns out to be much harder than simply collecting millions of profiles.
We're still early and we'd genuinely love feedback from the Product Hunt community.
If you could add one feature to a creator discovery platform, what would it be?
We're reading every suggestion.
