What is 10words?

10words is a platform for showcasing new apps and startups through short descriptions. It’s built for people who want to judge a project’s appeal quickly, without wading through a pile of marketing material.

The site credits a post on Indie Hackers as its inspiration. Its goal is to cut the fluff, so a reader can decide almost at once if a startup is worth a look. Makers submit their own projects.

Readers can get new entries by email, either every weekday or as a Friday roundup of the week's top startups. The Hot Picks section shows trending entries.

What it accepts: The directory accepts any app or startup for submission.
