Hi, Product Hunt!
I’ve been building indie products for the past couple of years, and one challenge kept repeating — finding affordable or self-hosted alternatives to expensive tools that either didn’t support my country or were simply overkill for small teams.
Every time I started a new project, I’d lose hours searching for alternatives on Reddit, Twitter, or random blogs. Most “alternative” websites had outdated databases, poor UX, or irrelevant results.
That’s what inspired me to build AlterBase — a curated and community-driven directory where makers can find and share indie-friendly alternatives that actually work.
During the process, I realized this isn’t just a list problem but a discovery problem. So instead of automating everything, I focused on manual curation, clean design, and transparency — something that grows with the community rather than decaying over time.

Who hunted AlterBase?
AlterBase was hunted by Abbas Aga. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
