You get a spike of attention, and by the next morning your page is buried and never changes again.</p> <p>I built <strong>DiscoveryLoop</strong> (<a href="https://www.discoveryloop.live" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.discoveryloop.live</a>) to work the other way around.</p> <p><strong>What it is:</strong> a free discovery platform for AI tools and software products.</p> <p><strong>How it's different:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <strong>Free to list, publishes immediately.</strong> No queue, no launch window.</li> <li> <strong>A living page.</strong> Every product keeps one page with its maker, votes, comments and every update you ship, so it never freezes at v1.</li> <li> <strong>Rank is never for sale.</strong> Rankings come from real votes; sponsored slots are always labeled and never change rank.</li> <li> <strong>Second waves of traffic.</strong> Daily, weekly and monthly top-10 roundups resurface the best products.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Who it's for:</strong> indie makers and startups who want somewhere their product stays discoverable after launch day, and people looking for tools worth coming back to.</p> <p>If you're building something, list it free: <a href="https://www.discoveryloop.live/submit" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.discoveryloop.live/submit</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback on what would make you come back to a discovery site.</p> <p>Joyal, founder of DiscoveryLoop</p> showdev ai webdev startup
