- For
- Indie hackers who enjoy SaaS-directory satire
- Worth noticing
- Each permalink recreates the same directory; the page says its entries, counts, and founder figures are generated and fictional.
Field notes
The page offers several ways to reuse a generated directory: a permalink, an SVG badge, copied HTML or Markdown, and a standalone HTML download. It describes the badge’s small print as disclosing that the directory is fictional. The maker also links to merge.tel, which they say turns merged pull requests into posts about what changed.
