👋 Heyo, great people! How's the summer going for y'all? It's super hot in here. Make sure you drink your water! ~~~ 👉 My name is Borislav, and I'm the maker of Apps On Grid. This is the fastest I ever went with a project from idea to production. I basically did the whole thing in a boring afternoon last Thursday. 😁 Also, This is my first ever PH launch, so don't make fun of me, or if you do, be gentle. 😁 ~~~ In short, AOG is a kind of an app directory made for indie makers, solopreneurs and small teams, building cool apps. I made it for two reasons: ❤️ To give back to this awesome community of people, who follow their passion and hustle hard for their dreams. I want all of these people to be seen, so that's my small contribution to that. 🤩 To have fun. I love building apps and making people happy. That's all. ~~~ As I said, AOG is a kind of an app directory, but with a ~twist~ 1️⃣ All of the apps are listed on the homepage, all at once, on a 12 columns grid (gets down to 4 on mobile). There are no categories, tags, paginations, etc. It's all dumped there, on the homepage. And adding apps to the grid is absolutely FREE. 2️⃣ If you really want your app to stand out from the rest, you can buy an expansion. With an expansion, your app image will span multiple cells on the grid. 3️⃣ Each cell is ~90px wide and holds a single app. With an active expansion can get up to 3x3 cells. 4️⃣ There is no algorithm, no upvoting, no comments, apps are ordered chronologically, with the most recently added ones appearing at the top. 5️⃣ Each app get's it's own unique handle, so make sure to reserve yours. ~~~ ✊ Getting on the GRID is absolutely free. All of the submitions are reviewed by me and approved manually. That's why seeing your app there may take some time. Additionally, you can purchase an expansion to "own" more cells on the grid. ~~~ I'll be happy to see you all on the GRID. Also, I'd love to hear from you - any feedback, ideas, bug reports, etc is highly appreciated and welcomed. Have fun and enjoy AOG!

If the directory is successful and you start getting thousands of listings, how do you plan to organize your feed?

@alex_chepovoi Thank you for the great question, Alex. Well, to be honest, I never thought about that. Let’s see if I ever manage to get there 😁 I have some ideas, but I’m the kind of person that hates to optimise prematurely. I’ll figure it out once I get there, hopefully 🙏

@dominiksumer Thank you, Dom! Launching on PH wasn't planned, as the app itself haha. I'm just too bored in the summer. :D But I like the idea of having a giant wall of apps, built by people like you and me, so yeah, hope that AOG will get there some day. 🤞

That's a great process. Being bored. Build side project. Launch. It would be great if there was a kind of search bar with keywords to filter the "themes". Imagine : there's a million app registered on the grid. You need a filter hehe.

@mho22 Thank you for the comment, Yannick. Much appreciated! ❤️ And yes, a filter is a really good idea, especially once I reach a million apps on the homepage 😅. I'll make sure to add filters at some point, but until then, I want to keep it as simple as possible. Also, the onboarding must be easy. The form should take you no more than 2 minutes, and to be honest, I really get stuck when I have to choose from lots of options haha :D

Love this idea. So simple and refreshing. The interface is very clean, too. I submitted my app a few minutes ago, excited to keep watching as the grid grows!

I've been following Borislav's journey on Twitter for quite some time. It's always enjoyable to follow the progress he shares while building the apps. Congratulations, Borislav, on the launch of your new website! I wish you great success and continued creativity in your endeavors!
