Thanks to you, our growing community of daily users, that vision is becoming a reality.</p> <p>As a builder, my favorite thing to do is improve this platform, add new features and help you find the software you need. However, building and maintaining a growing database requires time and resources. Up until now, I have been bootstrapping the project out of pocket, hoping to keep the site entirely ad-free through direct sponsorships and monetized software listings.</p>
