Lately, I’ve been trying to simplify how I find and evaluate web apps for side projects. Product Hunt and Google still help, but they can feel a bit noisy when you’re just looking for something specific or lightweight.
I recently came across a different approach: instead of browsing through generic lists, I found myself using a more “store-like” experience for web apps. It reminded me of how app stores reduce decision fatigue by giving structure (categories, quick previews, etc.), but applied to browser-based tools.
One example I stumbled on is Unstore. What stood out to me wasn’t just the catalog itself, but the idea of treating web apps like installable resources you can quickly explore and compare without digging through long blog posts or SEO-heavy landing pages.
It made me rethink how we surface tools to developers and indie makers. Discovery is still a bit chaotic on the web, and having curated, structured directories might be a small but meaningful improvement.
Curious if others are using something similar, or if you still rely mostly on search + bookmarks for finding new tools?
