I built DiscoveryLoop: a Product Hunt alternative where launches don't expire

Most launch platforms are built around a single day. You get a spike of attention, and by the next morning your page is buried and never changes again.

I built DiscoveryLoop (https://www.discoveryloop.live) to work the other way around.

What it is: a free discovery platform for AI tools and software products.

How it's different:

  • Free to list, publishes immediately. No queue, no launch window.
  • A living page. Every product keeps one page with its maker, votes, comments and every update you ship, so it never freezes at v1.
  • Rank is never for sale. Rankings come from real votes; sponsored slots are always labeled and never change rank.
  • Second waves of traffic. Daily, weekly and monthly top-10 roundups resurface the best products.

Who it's for: indie makers and startups who want somewhere their product stays discoverable after launch day, and people looking for tools worth coming back to.

If you're building something, list it free: https://www.discoveryloop.live/submit

I'd love feedback on what would make you come back to a discovery site.
