Free to read. Nothing to buy.
There is no paywall, no account and no paid placement here. The directory stays free by being useful — and by the people who find it passing it on.
What's free
Everything. Every listing, every weekly edition, the full archive, the sitemap and the machine-readable feeds. Nobody can buy a place in a weekly issue, and no listing is promoted for money — that is the whole point of an editorially curated directory.
What it costs to run
A domain, hosting, and the hours spent opening each product's homepage, checking that what it claims is actually there, and editing each description. There is no team, no sales function and no advertising.
Ways to help
No payment needed. These three things help more than money does.
Link to MakerRadar
If a listing saved you some searching, a link from your site, README, or project page sends the next maker here. Editorial links only — nothing here is bought or exchanged.
makerradar.fyiWrite about it
A short post, a newsletter mention, or a line in your launch thread reaches people a directory never could. The About page has the facts in one place, if you need them.
