There should be a mechanism such that when you click any of the elements on this website there's a small chance of a popup saying "stop reading and start doing".

good one, let me think about that ;)

What's up HackerNews! I'm surprised to see my creation Startup Stash pop up here, after launching it early 2015. I think I tried to post this here before? (back then)

Those of you who don't know, Startup Stash is the most upvoted product of all time on Product Hunt with 11K+ upvotes (https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=%2A), if you want to know more check out this blogpost I wrote after launching it: https://medium.com/startup-grind/how-i-launched-the-2-most-u...

Right now I'm working on something new: a course to teach anyone how to build a Minimum Viable Product without code: https://nocodemvp.com.

You are welcome! :) I use PH a few times per month, so I don't know how I could miss it so far, it was absolutely new for me. Its a great collection by the way! Nice job! :)

Very useful directory I added it to my bookmarks a year or two ago. BTW, it would be great to have some rating for the tools.

I would pay a decent amount of money, if a tool/service can get me this: drag and drop bootstrap website designer that let's me export the code to plug in to my backend. It's so frustrating to not have something like this for someone who's completely incapable of UI design. Does someone know of a service like this/

http://launchaco.com/build/

This is for landing pages but offers drag and drop simple website builder for you and I think it uses bootstrap. I use it all the time to quickly get 80 percent of what I want before refining it from there.

Take a look at webflow: http://webflow.com/

Bootstrap Studio. There is a one-time charge. Their studio works on mac, linux, and windows. You download to your machine and don't run this from the cloud.

You can host your sites wherever you want without having to use specific vendor servers.

This is very easy to use. I don't have time to spend as a full-stack web developer, when I am already busy with other things.

I'm not affiliated with the author/vendor other than having purchased their product. https://bootstrapstudio.io/

There are a whole bunch of Microsoft resources that aren't mentioned:

Bizspark - All Microsoft software + Azure credits (https://bizspark.microsoft.com)

Azure - Cloud hosting (https://azure.microsoft.com/free)

Team Services - Code repo + CI/CD (https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/)

Mobile Center - App distribution and analytics (https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/mobile-center/)

You should add Logodust (http://logodust.com), a fantastic resource for free logo designs that one could use in mvps and mockups.

will check it out!

Ok so there are _ten_ different services just to _name_ your startup? Duuude seriously?

Here's yet another API for generating startup names (feel free to change the "baseWord" param):

I'd add Logojoy (https://logojoy.com/) for logos. They're not free, but they'll get you started with a logo you need not be embarrassed by.

Super helpful list Bram!

+1 for instant search

thanks!

Oh look this has popped to the top of HackerNews again.

Fun fact, with over 11k votes, the all-time most upvoted product on ProductHunt.

that is, true ;)

Bram, how many emails did you collect to do this?

I did not get 11K upvotes on the first day. This is from 2,5 years. After my launch day I was the #2 most upvoted product, 1 week later it was the #1 most upvoted product. I think on the first day it got 1500 upvotes. Check https://medium.com/startup-grind/how-i-launched-the-2-most-u... to read how I launched it.

Also, how much traffic did you get with 11k upvotes from PH?

Downvote me all you like. I never said it was a bad product. But as Bram says "Over 2.5 years". This isn't new. Therefore not news, therefore shouldn't be at the top of Hacker [New]s.
