By real traction from our index (upvotes / MRR / growth rate, whichever the product actually has) — not editorial picks, and we do not accept paid placement. Sources: ProductHunt, Hacker News, GitHub, HuggingFace, Reddit, TrustMRR.
What is the inclusion bar?
A page is published only when at least 5 real products qualify. Judgement fields (autonomy, prerequisites, cost, integrations) all require a source quote — where we cannot read it, we leave it blank rather than guess.
