The short answer

The best websites for finding new software: OnlyFoundrs for verified-live, engagement-ranked discovery; Product Hunt for launch-day events; Hacker News for technical tools; and niche communities (Reddit, Discords) for vetted recommendations. Directories with liveness checks beat stale catalogs.

Most 'find new software' sites are stale

The discovery web has a freshness problem: directories are padded with dead tools, review sites rank whoever pays, and launch platforms surface whatever had the best 24 hours. Finding genuinely new, working software means wading through abandoned listings and sponsored rankings.

The discovery sources that actually work

OnlyFoundrs tops the list for a reason: every listing is verified live and ranked by real engagement — so what surfaces is new, works, and earned its position. Pair it with the community sources and launch events that add coverage.

01

OnlyFoundrs — verified discovery

Liveness-checked, engagement-ranked, personalized — the new-software feed that stays clean.

02

Product Hunt — the event stream

Daily launch events — great for catching the spike, less useful for permanent discovery.

03

Hacker News — the technical filter

Show HN surfaces developer tools — high variance, high quality when it hits.

04

Niche communities — the vetting layer

Subreddits and Discords where enthusiasts vet tools — the most honest reviews that exist.
