Hi there Product Hunters 👋


After 100s of apps and makers contributed to RBD, it was finally time to release v2!
New design, better performance, even better community.


With v2 you can now:
✨ Explore categories and drill down into sub-categories
🎩 Easily find the most loved apps in our top 20 (updated daily)
📱 See complete image galleries and product descriptions across iOS, macOS & Apple TV apps


Thank you all for contributing and making this platform a small gem of the indie community ❤️

 Hey Dan, have been following you on X for a while, learned a ton from you,

Quick question: does RBD let makers submit their own apps or is everything curated?

Maker

 thanks so much for the kind words 🙏

Anyone can submit apps, just raise a PR on

It's free of course 🙌

It sounds great! If the product is built without AI feature is it acceptable for this platform?

Maker
of course!

 Glad to hear that! I will explore it later! Btw, congrats on the launch. :)

The homepage is overwhelming. The categories page brings the sanity back! Congrats on the launch.

Maker

 thanks Nuseir, would love any suggestions for the home page!
Would you prefer just a selection of the best products? 🙏

 yes, maybe you can editorially control the homepage, since there is already a prominent above-the-fold CTA to visit category page. :)

Maker

 ty for taking the time to give me some feedback, appreciate it! ❤️

Slick site, well, done. Off-topic, but can you shar

e your experience with shipixen? I see you built the site with this. Thanks!

Maker

 thanks so much Saul!

I would love to, but I'm afraid I won't be that objective haha.

I can only say: it's all static with no backend/no DB and it was fast to build and it's been scaling very well.

I act live streamed building it last year and you can see an older version of Shipixen in action over here:

It was extremely early AI, so beware 😂

Now the experience would be even smoother, Shipixen comes with rules for Cursor and Claude Code so it can basically 1 shot most things!

Let's go Dan!

Maker

 Let's go! Thanks for the support Tomas 🫶

Looks so elegant as always - nobody masters front AND backend like Dan

Maker

 you got duped Max, the front-end is the back-end haha!

It's all static put together with scripts and mdx 💪

Thanks so much for the support! ❤️

🔌 Plugged in

 I can't say for sure but I think* I got 100 MRR from posting here

Maker

 that's CRAZY! Hope you get this every day 🤞

Great selection of apps and deals! ! 👏

Maker

 the best part about building this is I was actually the first to snatch deals on many of these apps haha. Quite a few gems especially for macOS/dev!

Thanks for the support Thomas 🙏

Website is slick brada!! Well done!!

Maker

 the cat says it all! 😂
