A Peerlist alternative focused on the board
Peerlist is a professional network for people in tech: profiles, work history, and projects in one place, with a launch platform attached. ShowBuild takes the opposite bet — that what a maker needs is not another profile, but a ranked board where the product, not the person, is the unit.
A board, not a network
On Peerlist, your project lives inside your profile, and getting seen is partly a function of the network you have built there. On ShowBuild there is nothing to build first: you submit, the listing stands on its own, and ranking comes from upvotes within a freshness window rather than from followers.
That makes ShowBuild a Peerlist alternative for the specific job of putting a project in front of strangers. If you want a portfolio-cum-resume, Peerlist does that; if you want distribution for the thing you shipped, a board does it faster.
Where ShowBuild is different
- One-minute submission. Name, link, one-liner, category — no workspace to set up and no profile to fill out first.
- Listing in a minute. Projects go live as soon as you have joined in with five builds already on the board, and then stay up as permanent pages with their own URLs.
- Category browsing. Visitors find you by what they were looking for — development tools, marketing, design — not only by scrolling a feed.
- Dofollow backlink. Verified listings pass ranking signal to your site via the badge, which is the piece most launch surfaces keep behind a paywall.
Get started
Browse the board to see the format, then submit your own build. The what is ShowBuild guide covers the details, and finding your first users shows how to make a listing work hard.
