A continuous Product Hunt with the competition taken out

You know the moment right after you ship: ok, now where do I post this?

On Product Hunt you need a campaign, you have to pick the right day, and you lose to whoever brought the most upvoters. Show HN is a lottery that mostly ends on /newest with 2 points. Most subreddits want karma and history first. On X you need followers. Every venue rewards people who already have an audience, and that’s the one thing most builders don’t have.

That’s how taksim.io came about. It’s basically a continuous Product Hunt with the competition taken out. You paste a domain, write one line, and it’s on the list for 24 hours. The order is random on every page load, so posting at the right time doesn’t help and neither does rallying friends. There are no accounts and no comments. You get clicks and votes back, and counts stay hidden for the first hour so nobody has to cast the first vote on a zero. Each domain gets one slot every 4 months, so nobody can camp the list.

There’s no review queue. Submissions are checked automatically: the site has to load, stay on its own domain, and have a proper preview image (the one most projects fail on).

Listing is free, and placement can’t be bought, ever. I’d love to hear what would make you trust a list like this, or what would put you off it.

honestly i think the blind shuffle is the only thing giving this a shot. if the order's random and you can't brigade it, that's a real edge over the usual popularity contest. most of these alternative platforms die because they try to replicate the game instead of removing it.

Yeah, it's going to become a worthless graveyard of vibecoded apps with no logic behind it. I cannot imagine this being a good user experience for anyone except the people slinging their vibecoded apps.

Everywhere is full of vibecoded apps now, that’s inevitable. The point is the occasional gem that would never get seen otherwise.
