ShowBuild is a community board where indie makers and small teams list the products and
projects they are building. Listings are public, ranked by community upvotes, and each
qualifying listing carries a verified do-follow link back to the product. Content is
readable without JavaScript: every listing, category, and guide has its own HTML page.

## Notes for automated readers

- Build pages live at https://showbuild.co/builds/<name>/ and include the project name, description, category, points, and comments.
- Outbound project links are marked do-follow only when the owner has verified a backlink; otherwise they carry rel="nofollow".
- Listings marked anonymous hide the submitter's username by design.
- Machine-readable files: /llms.txt (concise index), /llms-full.txt (expanded index), /ai.txt (permissions for AI crawlers).
- See /agents/ for the full guide for AI agents and crawlers.
