πŸš€ Introducing Xeon: A Startup Directory Platform for Entrepreneurs & Innovators

Have an amazing startup idea but don’t know where to share it?
Want to see what other founders are building?
Meet Xeon β€” your new go-to platform to submit, explore, and pitch startup ideas in a minimal and intuitive environment.


🧠 What is Xeon?

Xeon is a clean and powerful web platform designed for entrepreneurs, students, and creators to:

  • πŸ’‘ Submit startup ideas with a name, logo, and description
  • 🌍 Discover other projects to get inspired
  • 🎀 Participate in virtual pitch competitions and gain exposure
  • πŸ” Login securely using GitHub OAuth
  • πŸ“± Enjoy a minimal and responsive UI built for all screen sizes

πŸ”§ Built With Love & Modern Tools

Xeon was crafted using a modern and scalable stack:

  • 🧬 Next.js + TypeScript β€” Lightning-fast and typed
  • 🎨 Tailwind CSS + Shadcn/ui β€” For beautiful, responsive design
  • πŸƒ MongoDB (via Mongoose) β€” To persist startup data
  • πŸ›‘οΈ NextAuth.js β€” Secure GitHub authentication
  • ☁️ Vercel β€” For seamless deployment
  • 🧭 Sentry β€” For performance and error tracking

πŸ’‘ Why I Built Xeon

As a developer and startup enthusiast, I noticed there’s no open platform for early-stage ideas where creators can get feedback or visibility without hefty investment.

With Xeon, I wanted to create a space that feels:

  • ✨ Clean and distraction-free
  • πŸ› οΈ Simple for MVP-stage founders
  • πŸ“’ Ready for virtual pitch contests

Super slick UI and thoughtful feature set β€” the GitHub OAuth integration and pitch contest concept really stand out! Maybe a β€œtrending startups” tab or leaderboard could be a fun addition? Subscribed to updates πŸ’‘
