Hello fellow hunters! I built OpenPartner to help promote the various SaaS products I'm building and hopefully help others builders as well. - https://getcoherence.io - An AI-Native XRM/CRM - https://studio.getcohernece.io - A screen recorder and AI video generator to help create SaaS teaser/explainer videos along with really any motion graphic videos. - and now https://openpartner.dev I’ve been trying to get better at distribution lately, especially around affiliate and referral programs for the products. The rabbit hole started when I came across efficient app on YouTube. They’re a husband-and-wife team reviewing B2B software, and I noticed their business model seems to rely heavily on partner/affiliate relationships with the tools they recommend. That led me to look into the software and networks behind these programs. I found Dub, signed up, and realized their partner network is only available on enterprise plans. Their regular plan still starts around $80/month plus a percentage of revenue, but you’re mostly bringing your own partners. I also looked at PartnerStack, which seems powerful but is even more expensive. That made me think there’s room for something different: a more open and flexible partner network with modern attribution tracking, but without enterprise-only access or heavy pricing gates. So I built and launched OpenPartner as an open-source partner platform with a built-in network this week. The goal is to help brands create affiliate/referral programs and give creators/partners an easier way to discover programs they can promote. It’s still very early, so I’m building in public and trying to learn from both sides: - founders/companies that want partner-led distribution - affiliates/creators/consultants that want good programs to promote - people who’ve used tools like PartnerStack, Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Dub, etc. Right now I’m especially thinking through: - how open the network should be - what attribution features matter most early on - how to keep pricing flexible - how to make program discovery actually useful - what partners need before they trust a new network Would love feedback from anyone who has built or used affiliate/referral programs. What would you want from a new partner network?

@keith_fawcett1 Your distribution rabbit hole makes a lot of sense—affiliate and referral programs are becoming table stakes for SaaS, but the existing platforms do price out smaller builders. The Efficient App observation is sharp; those creator-led review channels have become trusted sources precisely because they're selective about what they recommend. Open-sourcing the partner network infrastructure could genuinely lower the barrier for both sides.
