I made an open source directory for sharing projects

Ever wondered how to show off that something you just built? Look no further! Awesome Launch is meant to be a list of communities and forums you can share your projects to get feedback or your first users.

Anyone is free to contribute sites and resources. Hope you enjoy!

I am more interested to find platforms where laymen share their pains about items they use.

Cool. I actually posted my project to a few open-source directory sites yesterday. I got an email today that it will go live on the 4th of July unless I pay for a quicker submission... I emailed them and pointed out it was just hurting themselves and they said they have a queue and they only do 3 a day so every launch gets its own time sort of thing. The value proposition is that you can find alternatives not that you can launch your project there, it makes no sense to me other than they've seen launch platforms do it so...

I think there needs to be a good open-source alternatives directory that isn't run by someone who doesn't treat it as a launch platform.

Sadly, Designer News looks like it has shut down: https://www.designernews.co
