Hey folks,
Two weeks ago I launched a small AI tools directory for devs — just a side project to collect the most useful tools, books, and communities. Didn’t expect much, but it somehow hit 10k unique visitors in 14 days. Here’s what worked: SEO early. Simple keywords, clean structure, and fast load speed. Hacker News + Reddit. Drove the biggest spike in traffic. Manual curation. Quality > quantity. No AI auto-listings. What didn’t: Social media posts. Vanished in hours. Skipping newsletter signups early. Big miss. Not selling anything — just wanted to share what I learned for other indie devs or makers building in public.
If you’re curious, here’s the site: https://aithings.dev Happy to answer questions about traffic, SEO, or the tech stack. |
