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 ❤️

@dan_mindru 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?
PageAI
@ristan_nakko thanks so much for the kind words 🙏
Anyone can submit apps, just raise a PR on https://github.com/danmindru/rare-big-deal
It's free of course 🙌
I often browse GitHub randomly looking for cool indie open-source projects, so stumbling onto your platform was a pleasant surprise! Honestly, the daily Top 20 alone is enough to keep me busy all day, haha. Great job!
PageAI
It sounds great! If the product is built without AI feature is it acceptable for this platform?
PageAI
@dan_mindru Glad to hear that! I will explore it later! Btw, congrats on the launch. :)
Nas.io
The homepage is overwhelming. The categories page brings the sanity back! Congrats on the launch.
PageAI
@nuseir_yassin1 thanks Nuseir, would love any suggestions for the home page!
Would you prefer just a selection of the best products? 🙏
Nas.io
@dan_mindru yes, maybe you can editorially control the homepage, since there is already a prominent above-the-fold CTA to visit category page. :)

@nuseir_yassin1 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!
PageAI
@osakasaul 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!

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

@max_eccles 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! ❤️
