# justship.now: A Curated Tools Directory for Indie Hackers

**[Alex CloudStar](https://daily.dev/sources/alexcloudstar)** · [@alexcloudstar](https://daily.dev/alexcloudstar) · 9 min read · 2 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

The author explains why justship.now, a curated directory of 300+ developer and indie-hacker tools across 20+ categories paired with a build-in-public blog, has replaced makers.page as the top-featured project on their personal site. The directory is hand-curated with opinionated descriptions, has no paid placements or sponsored tiers, and contrasts with GitHub awesome lists, crowdsourced directories like PeerPush and 1000.tools, and Product Hunt. The swap was motivated by makers.page having a feature (Marketing Assistant MCP) still gated behind a waitlist, whereas justship.now has zero friction for visitors.
