Hi Product Hunt 👋

I'm Smile, the solo maker behind MakerRadar.

The best small products I've found this year weren't on any leaderboard — they were buried in replies on X, several layers deep in a thread. Great finds, forgotten a day later. MakerRadar is my attempt to give those products a durable, searchable home.

WHAT IT IS
A free directory of indie products, curated by one editor (me). It has 140+ listings today, and every Sunday I publish a weekly issue with five picks — each with a short reason for why it's worth your time. There's an RSS feed if you'd rather not visit.

HOW A PRODUCT GETS LISTED

Found — in the replies under my posts on X, or conversations with makers there.
Checked — I open the product's own website and confirm what it does, who it's for, and how it's priced. What I can't verify stays out, or is marked unknown rather than guessed.
Written — a plain description with honest strengths and limitations. Full disclosure: descriptions are drafted with AI assistance from the product's own site, then checked and edited by me. Nothing goes out without that review.
Published — one page per product, deduplicated even across relaunches.

WHAT IT DELIBERATELY ISN'T

No votes or rankings. A weekly pick is an editorial judgment, not a score.
No paid placement, no sponsored slots, no affiliate links. Nobody can buy their way in.
No account needed to browse. Free, and staying that way.

WANT YOUR PRODUCT LISTED?
There's no submission form yet. Find me on X (@tianqiu9390) and drop it in the replies: what it does, who it's for, and a link to its own website. Store-only apps and GitHub-only repos don't qualify — the product needs a site it owns.

I'd genuinely like your feedback: which categories or details would make this more useful when you're hunting for a tool? What's missing? I'll be around all day answering questions.

Thanks for checking it out 🙏
