Hey IH!
I just launched ImageNav — a curated directory of 55+ AI image generation tools.
*The Journey*:
- Started 2 months ago after getting frustrated with outdated AI tool listicles
- Spent 6 months testing tools (Midjourney, DALL-E, Flux, Stable Diffusion, etc.)
- Built the directory to save others the hassle
*Tech Stack*:
- [Your stack, e.g., Next.js + Tailwind + PostgreSQL]
- Hosted on Vercel
- Weekly updates via cron job
*Traction So Far*:
- Launched on Product Hunt [X days ago]
- [X] visitors in first week
- Published on Medium (DR 95)
*Challenges*:
- Keeping data up-to-date (AI tools change fast)
- SEO competition (lots of "best AI tool" listicles)
- Monetization without compromising trust
*What I Learned*:
1. Content beats tech stack — users don't care about React vs Vue, they care if the info helps
2. Weekly updates are essential — static lists from 2024 are already outdated
3. Simple beats complex — launched with basic features, users love it
*What's Next*:
- Adding video generation tools
- User voting system
- Newsletter with weekly AI tool roundups
