A quick shout-out to MintedSaaS

2026-05-24

If you're the kind of person who likes poking around new software, take a look at MintedSaaS. It's a handy spot for discovering freshly launched SaaS products without having to scroll through a hundred newsletters to find them.

Why bother with another directory?

The honest answer: most of us have a vague idea that there's probably a better tool out there for the boring thing we keep doing manually — extracting data, scheduling posts, cleaning up files, generating thumbnails — but we never go looking until the pain gets loud enough. By the time you finally search, you end up wading through outdated blog posts and SEO-stuffed "Top 50" lists from three years ago.

A focused directory short-circuits that. You scroll, you spot two or three things that look interesting, you bookmark or trial them, and you move on. Even if nine out of ten products aren't a fit, the tenth one might shave an hour off your week. That math works out pretty quickly.

A few reasons we're flagging it

  • Curated, not firehose. Browsing through a tidy list beats wading through a feed of half-finished side projects.
  • Good for builders. If you ship SaaS yourself, it's another channel to get your product in front of people who are specifically there to find new SaaS.
  • Fast to skim. No login wall, no fluff — just check it out and move on with your day.

How we use sites like this

Around here we lean on a small handful of tools to keep GIFGIFs running — image processing pipelines, monitoring, queue stuff, content management — and almost all of it started as "huh, didn't know that existed" while clicking through someone's directory or roundup. The compounding effect is real: every couple of months a small swap saves us from writing yet another internal script.

If you're a founder or operator, browsing somewhere like this once a month is a cheap habit. Worst case, you waste ten minutes. Best case, you find the missing piece for a problem you've been working around for ages.

Wrapping up

That's the whole post — no affiliate link, no sponsorship, just a pointer because we think it's a useful corner of the internet for the same kind of people who use our tools. Drop by when you get a minute, and if you build SaaS yourself, consider submitting your product over there too.
