I've been working on Findly.tools to fill that gap - a modern, fully automated platform for discovering and sharing developer tools.
Tech stack: Next.js + shadcn for the frontend; Drizzle ORM + Better-Auth for backend; Stripe for payments; Cloudflare; Plausible for analytics.
Coming soon: The boilerplate for sale - deploy the cleanest, most complete & autonomous directory on the market with one click!
When someone is looking for a tool, curation is probably more useful.
Sure, automation makes your job of maintaining the site easier.
And it benefits people who "aggressively market" tools...and if you were charging people to list their tools, that would also benefit you.
But users? They usually only need one of any particular tool and usually only once every few months/years. Good luck.
