I’d been dying to make a dark-themed site.

About

Beta Directory is a curated list of the latest digital products in alpha, beta, waiting list or invite-only stage.

As an early adopter I couldn’t find one place to discover them. Product Hunt is amazing, but mostly features products that have already launched, and so does BetaList. So I spent hours every week on Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter and Indie Hackers mining for brand-new products to try.

I started sharing them in a Twitter thread, got some reasonable engagement, and decided to knock up a site with Softr and Airtable in a matter of hours.
