Most of my days go into SoftRankings.
What I am focused on right now. Not a list of everything I have ever done, just the thing on my desk.
SoftRankings
status: "shipping"
Find SaaS built for your company stage.
Most tool mistakes are stage mismatches. SoftRankings ranks software by how well it fits a team your size, not by reviews, launch day or who paid.
- Product engineering, end to end
- The browsing and search experience
- Infrastructure, deploys and performance
Browse by stage
Pick your stage and see the tools that fit it, instead of one global top ten.
Fit scoring
Listings are reviewed by a human and scored for how well they fit each stage.
Founder stacks
Public stacks of what founders actually run, tagged by stage.
Collections
Curated lists for specific jobs, like Figma alternatives or auth tools.
Maker analytics
Listed products see impressions, visits and a breakdown of viewers by company stage.
Free to list
Makers can submit a product for free. No credit card.
// the problem it solves
Top ten lists ignore who is asking.
A tool that is perfect for a 500 person company can sink a two person team, and the cheap tool a solo founder loves will not survive Series A. Generic rankings blend all of those people together.
SoftRankings splits the market into 8 stages, from Solo / Indie to Public / Enterprise, and scores each listing for fit at each stage. You pick where you are, it shows you what fits.
// what I bring to it
The whole stack, one person.

Databases
Data models that stay sane as the product grows.

Servers, containers, CI and deploys that do not need babysitting.
