@farokh_shahabi Appreciate the feedback, Farokh. I'll definitely look into this. Btw. I have a question regarding Formaloo, see your Twitter DMs :)
👋 Hey PH! My name is Björn and I've been building Good Work Apps as a side project for the past few months. Here's the problem I had, and the solution I thought of:
🤔 Problem
Being a productivity enthusiast I love to experiment with software and I am always on the hunt for new apps that fit my workflow the best. Since I've been doing regular reviews of my productivity setup the last few years, I realized that currently there isn't a place for comparing productivity tools based on criteria that are more specific than those used by Capterra or G2 and that are actually relevant to the app category. Moreover, there is not place that indexes ALL of the apps that exist in a category. At the same time, there is so much knowledge around productivity tools and their mental models out there on the internet – think Roam Cult or YouTubers like Ali Abdaal – but there is not one place to bring it all together.
🛠 Solution
With Good Work Apps I'd love bringing the entire community of experts, influencers and power users together and create that one place where you can discover and properly compare productivity apps. The way Good Work Apps provides more specific and relevant criteria of comparison is via crowdsourcing them from the community. On Good Work Apps, every member can suggest (1) new apps, (2) new features to be used for indexing apps and (3) edits to the actual data. While for now, I’d then go ahead and update the page with these suggestions, I can imagine this to be a decentralized process in the future.
🔮 Vision
While this is a pretty simple website so far, my vision for Good Work Apps is to build it out into a fully fledged web app to completely streamline the process of crowdsourcing (e.g. upvote mechanisms). Also, I'm starting with the category of note apps right now, but I'd be looking forward to add more categories soon.
I'm really excited and grateful to hear what you guys & girls think. I'm sure this group’s feedback will challenge the idea in just the right way. Thanks for reading! 🙏

It's easy to get lost with all of the great productivity apps out there. This is definitely a great guidance. Thanks for building!
Such a clean well thought out UI. Quite helpful. @yvishwachaitanya you might find this interesting.
@yvishwachaitanya @rucha_joshi8 Appreciate this feedback! And thanks for sharing with your friend :)
Although you stated the website is simple, I think it's just very accessible and easy to use. I just made an account, submitted a productivity app, etc. and all processes were easy. Excited to see how it evolves!
