TinyLaunch

TinyLaunch has established itself as one of the better-known indie project directories, particularly within the Twitter (X) community. It was created by Christopher Woggon, a maker who has become a recognizable figure in the indie hacker space.

What makes Christopher stand out is his dedication: almost every day, he records and publishes short videos on X where he talks about TinyLaunch, his thoughts on building, and his journey as an indie founder. This consistency has built him a loyal following, and the visibility he commands directly benefits the platform. Many makers who follow him also discover and trust TinyLaunch, which adds to its credibility.

Unlike many startup directories that churn out new listings daily, TinyLaunch takes a slower and more thoughtful approach. Launches happen once a week. That cadence changes the rhythm of how the platform works. Instead of dozens of new projects competing for attention every day, each batch of launches gets a full week in the spotlight. For founders, this means their submission has a much better chance of being seen and remembered, and for visitors, it means they can focus on a manageable set of fresh projects rather than skimming through an endless feed.

The platform is also known for its small but valuable touches that encourage recognition. Each week, the top three products are awarded a TinyLaunch badge, which founders can display on their websites. For indie hackers, this badge acts as social proof - it signals that the project resonated with the community and earned recognition on a respected indie directory. That kind of endorsement can be more meaningful to potential users than simply being buried in a giant, impersonal database of startups.

TinyLaunch is free to use, which keeps it open and accessible for indie makers at any stage. The site is continually being developed and improved, reflecting Christopher's hands-on involvement and his commitment to building something that serves the community. The design is straightforward, the experience is uncluttered, and the focus is clearly on quality over quantity. Because the platform is curated and limited in pace, the overall level of submissions tends to be higher than on directories that let anything through instantly.

What really sets TinyLaunch apart is the culture around it. Thanks to Christopher's ongoing presence on Twitter, the platform has become more than just a listing board. It feels like part of a broader indie hacker conversation.
