  1. 151Block Poster

    Block Poster is a lightweight, zero-friction web utility designed to bridge the gap between digital artwork and large-scale physical presentation. Standard home and office printers are inherently locked into small, fixed dimensions like A4 or Letter sizes. When independent creators, educators, or marketing teams need to print giant visual assets—such as banners, room backdrops, or custom wall art—the traditional options are often expensive commercial print shops or heavy design software. To solve this friction, Block Poster serves as a precise, web-based digital twin that automatically partitions any large image into an accurate grid of standard printable sizes.

  11. 161TemplateCat

    What is this? A little cat that helps you pick professionally designed templates. Just joking! It means "templates by categories". When doing web design for clients (eg. a dentist website), I often need to compare templates across different website builders. Jumping between platforms was really annoying, so I made this tool. Where are the templates from Framer Webflow Squarespace (Will add Figma Sites and Readymag later, I guess 10k+ templates in the future) What are the features? High quality templates - I only choose from website builder products where they hire professional designers. Browse by categories/features/styles - eg. find "portfolio" or "minimalist" templates On-page preview + device switching - directly see desktop/tablet/mobile effects Website builder pricing listed - easy to compare costs (Coming soon: pricing range filters, merge similar tags) Simply put: saves time jumping between different platforms to find templates.

  12. 162Inkfox AI

    Inkfox AI is a free, no-sign-up creative workspace that brings the full image-and-video workflow into one place, instead of scattering it across half a dozen separate tools. You can start generating right away in the browser, with free credits and no account required just to see if it works for you. At its core is image generation backed by multiple state-of-the-art models, including Nano Banana 2.0, GPT Image 2.0, Flux, and Seedream, so you can pick the model that best fits a given look rather than being locked to one engine. Beyond text-to-image, Inkfox handles reference-based editing and inpainting (change one part of an image while keeping the rest), turns a still photo into a short animated video, and generates video from a prompt. A growing library of one-click tools sits on top of the engine, so you don't have to write complex prompts for common jobs. These include a full virtual try-on family, sunglasses, glasses, hats, necklaces, earrings, watches, colored contact lenses, and clothing, plus scene presets for headshots, product shots, stylized portraits, and more. Each result is saved to a timeline tied to the prompt that created it, so your work stays organized instead of piling up as unnamed files. Inkfox is built for creators, indie makers, e-commerce sellers, and social media users who want fast, accessible results without a steep learning curve or a paywall up front. The free tier covers real usage; signing in removes the export watermark and unlocks higher-volume generation. Whether you're mocking up a product photo, previewing an accessory before you buy, animating a portrait, or just exploring ideas, Inkfox lowers the barrier from "I have an idea" to "here's the image or video."

  13. 163Fundl

    Fundl is a modern crowdfunding platform built around the idea of transparency, verified traction, and evidence-based project backing. Unlike traditional crowdfunding platforms that often rely heavily on marketing, storytelling, and speculative promises, Fundl focuses on giving backers access to real, verifiable project metrics before they decide to contribute. The platform is designed for creators, startup founders, developers, and builders who already have measurable traction and want to prove the legitimacy and momentum of their projects through live data integrations rather than polished pitch decks alone. The core concept behind Fundl is “verified metrics crowdfunding.” Instead of asking supporters to trust ambitious claims without proof, creators can connect platforms such as Stripe, GitHub, and analytics tools directly to their campaign profiles. This allows visitors to see live metrics including monthly recurring revenue (MRR), development activity, user growth, audience engagement, and other traction signals pulled directly from connected accounts. By displaying real business and product data, Fundl attempts to create a more transparent crowdfunding environment where backers evaluate measurable progress instead of relying entirely on promises or promotional content. One of the platform’s standout features is its live data verification system. Fundl automatically refreshes connected metrics so supporters always see updated numbers rather than manually uploaded screenshots or unverifiable founder claims. Revenue metrics from Stripe demonstrate whether customers are already paying for the product, GitHub commit activity shows whether the team is actively shipping updates, and audience analytics provide insight into user interest and growth. This “proof-first” approach differentiates Fundl from traditional crowdfunding websites where progress updates are often infrequent and difficult to independently verify. Fundl also simplifies the crowdfunding payment process by integrating directly with Stripe. Contributions made by supporters go straight to the creator’s Stripe account instead of being held in escrow by the platform itself. This direct payout structure reduces financial friction while allowing creators to receive funding immediately through their own payment infrastructure. The platform positions itself as a “proof layer” rather than a financial intermediary, focusing on transparency, trust signals, and data verification instead of controlling payment custody. Fundl clearly states that contributions are reward-based only and do not represent investments, equity ownership, or financial returns. The platform is particularly focused on internet startups, SaaS products, AI projects, developer tools, and technology-driven businesses where measurable online traction can be tracked through APIs and analytics. Example projects displayed on the website include AI workflow engines, educational technology tools for dyslexic students, and crypto-related avatar platforms. Each project profile includes funding progress, live traction metrics, backer counts, and platform-connected proof signals that help visitors compare projects more objectively. This structure encourages founders to demonstrate ongoing execution and measurable growth instead of relying solely on concept-stage ideas. Another major strength of Fundl is its creator-focused onboarding experience. The platform promotes a simple four-step setup process where creators define funding goals, connect data sources, enable Stripe payments, and allow metrics to update automatically over time. Fundl encourages founders to treat their operational metrics as the new version of a pitch deck, arguing that revenue growth, active development, and audience expansion are more meaningful indicators of project potential than highly designed presentations or speculative business plans. Overall, Fundl presents itself as a new generation crowdfunding ecosystem built for transparency, accountability, and measurable traction. By combining live verified metrics, direct Stripe payouts, automated data refreshes, and public project comparison tools, the platform aims to modernize crowdfunding for creators and supporters alike. Its focus on evidence-based backing makes it especially appealing for modern internet businesses, indie hackers, SaaS founders, developers, and technology startups that want to showcase real momentum and build trust with potential supporters through transparent operational data rather than traditional crowdfunding hype alone.

  20. 170Tech Twitter

    A lot of my friends in tech have given up on Twitter, but I still find a lot of value there. People don’t want to waste time trying to improve their feeds. They’re tired of doomscrolling and just want signal without noise. Twitter can be incredible for discovering great insights, but it often feels like trying to find a needle in a noisy, sloppy haystack. You doomscroll for 10–20 minutes and maybe find one or two gems. The rest is just fatigue. I built techtwitter.com, a dedicated site for folks who just don’t want to bother. It’s a curated directory of the best tech-related posts of the day. No slop. No BS. Just value.

  24. 174Burge Coffee

    Burge Coffee, founded and driven by the deep personal obsession of coffee enthusiast Ben Burge, positions itself as a distinct digital sanctuary for individuals who approach coffee as a meticulous craft rather than a rapid consumer commodity. Centered around the core philosophy encapsulated in its tagline, "God, Family, and a damn good cup," the platform advocates for the ritual of slowing down in a fast-paced world to find deeper connections. By bridging a reverence for something greater, the shared experience around a family table, and the deliberate patience required for artisanal coffee roasting, the platform transforms a simple morning beverage into an intentional, memorable experience. The entire digital landscape is uniquely built upon an uncompromising privacy framework that guarantees no accounts are required, no external servers harvest personal data, and everything operates seamlessly directly inside the user's web browser, ensuring that user metrics and personal reflections remain private. The platform provides an expansive Field Guide that acts as an educational anchor for aspiring and experienced roasters alike, breaking down the complex journey from a green bean to the final morning pour. Through highly practical articles and honest, science-backed advice, the guide deconstructs various stages of home roasting, explaining how shifting from a passive consumer to an active craftsperson completely alters a person's relationship with coffee. It explores the critical acoustics and chemical shifts of the roasting sequence, such as the transition from drying and yellowing to the definitive first crack and subsequent development stage. Additionally, the guide features deep dives into geographical origins, drawing side-by-side taste profiles between distinct coffee-growing regions like Ethiopia and Colombia, while providing critical technical instruction on how to interpret early grassy or hay-like aromas of green beans and how to properly regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow to store green coffee without losing its intrinsic character. Beyond theoretical education, the site equips coffee enthusiasts with a robust suite of free, browser-based personal tools designed for meticulous tracking and refinement of their daily craft. Users can leverage a comprehensive Roast Log to document variables like bean origin, charge temperatures, first crack timings, and development durations to measure their roasting progress over time. For holistic sensory tracking, a Coffee Journal enables individuals to build a personal flavor library of all the coffees they sample, while a structured Cupping Log mirrors professional methodology by allowing users to score fragrance, aroma, body, acidity, and aftertaste side by side. Daily preparation is optimized through a specialized Brew Diary that dials in execution variables such as dosage, grind size, water temperature, yield, and overall brew time. Furthermore, the platform offers a personal travelogue feature via Café Reviews alongside an interactive and highly educational Roast Master Simulator, which allows users to practice controlling a digital heat curve and hitting targeted roast dynamics in a gamified environment without downloading any software. To foster a sense of shared global community, the platform features a community-powered interactive map dedicated to highlighting independent, niche, and micro-roasters who prioritize quality over mass production. This global registry emphasizes small-scale operations that foster direct relationships with farms, cup every single lot, and focus on delivering perfectly executed small batches. Users are encouraged to actively contribute to this expanding database by spotlighting exceptional local roasteries, joining a curated network that already features world-renowned specialty operations such as Square Mile Coffee Roasters, Tim Wendelboe, Onyx Coffee Lab, Koppi, and Ona Coffee. Complementing this modern community aspect is a deep exploration of coffee's historic lineage through an interactive chronological timeline spanning over twelve centuries and five continents. This historical journey traces coffee from its legendary discovery in Ethiopian forests and its use by Yemeni Sufi mystics to the emergence of Ottoman coffeehouses, London's historical penny universities, and the invention of iconic tools like the Moka Pot, ultimately demonstrating how historical movements shaped the specialty coffee culture enjoyed today.
