## What is BuiltByMe?

BuiltByMe lists products submitted by independent developers and small bootstrapped teams. Each product gets its own page and a link to a maker profile. Listings are reviewed before approval and sorted into categories such as AI tools, SaaS, productivity, marketing and developer tools. The site says it holds more than 675 approved products.

Products compete in a weekly upvote leaderboard that runs Monday to Sunday. The top product gets a newsletter feature and a post on X. The site also shows all-time top makers and most upvoted products. It publishes a blog and RSS feeds, and offers 18 free browser-based SEO tools such as a meta tag checker, robots.txt validator, redirect checker and page speed grader.
