What is Makers Page?
makers.page helps indie founders get discovered without paying for directory placements. You submit your product for free. A real person reviews it: someone who actually tries to use what you shipped. Approved products get a permanent public profile on makers.page, inclusion in the sitemap, and a chance at an honest video review.
Unlike launch platforms that spike for 24 hours and disappear, makers.page is a lasting profile layer. It pairs with Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, and niche communities: use those for launch-day traffic, use makers.page for a durable indexed page.
Categories cover indie tools, SaaS, AI products, developer tools, and maker projects. Submission is always free. There is no upgrade path for visibility.

When we launched Fitness AI we hard-paywalled everything. The people who paid were telling us: this is real, this is a problem worth solving, and we're willing to put money down. That validated the product far faster than free users ever could.
Paywalling everything at launch filters for users whose problem you actually solve
Moore argues that free tiers at launch add noise: free users are exploring, not confirming product-market fit. Paying users from day one constitute a cleaner signal — if strangers pay without persuasion, the problem and solution are real. The additional benefit is financial: early revenue funds iteration without fundraising urgency. The trade-off is slower install growth, which Moore accepted as a fair price for signal quality.
my co-founder was in HFZ and they had other founders building consumer apps one of them was UMAX it's a looks maxing app for guys and we loosely got inspired by it and we wanted to build a glowup app for women and makeup and we realized that there's no apps like that existing on the app store yet
Clone a proven consumer-app playbook into an adjacent underserved audience
Don't invent a brand-new consumer-app category. Find an app with proven paying customers and a working content playbook, then port the mechanic to an adjacent audience that the App Store hasn't served yet. UMAX (looks-maxing for guys) → Glam Up (glow-up for women). Sprout pivoted from beauty into college-student jobs specifically because that audience had higher purchasing power. Pick the mechanic, swap the audience, ship.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
