Over the past few weeks, I’ve been developing Simple Lister, a platform built to support indie product creators and give them a fair shot. If you’ve launched on Product Hunt recently, you might have noticed that only featured products get the spotlight, while others struggle for visibility.

Why Simple Lister?

Simple Lister aims to fix this by offering a more transparent and fair approach for product launches. Here’s how we do it:

• No favoritism: Every product gets an equal chance, and we don’t play favorites.

• Daily Underdog Feature: Each day, we highlight one underdog product to give them extra visibility and support.

• No hidden fees: There are no surprise costs. We have a simple submission fee, and that’s it—no pay-to-play or hidden charges.

Also we have a long to do list to do better.

Why does this matter?

After launching on Product Hunt ourselves, we realized how tough it is for smaller creators to get any attention unless they’re featured. Simple Lister is here to champion those indie products that deserve to be seen by a wider audience.

The platform is new and evolving, and I’m constantly working to make it better. If you’ve got feedback or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Thanks for your support, and I’d be happy if you submit your products!

Nice, but the thing that holds a sensible person back from joining is point 10 in the ToS “10. Changes to the Terms

- We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Terms. Your continued use of Simple Lister following any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.”

That's very standard in ToS, and I would think a no-brainer. How could one use a site without accepting its terms of service? Notably Hacker News has almost that exact same language with a 14-day notice period. YouTube, Twitter, Wordpress.com, etc. all have similar language. What is your problem with it?

I mean, they have the right to be opposed to this practice even though it is standard, right?

I myself am opposed to it too, and I believe the more people stand up to it, the merrier.
