One line

Project Radar helps people discover useful software from independent builders.

Short description

Project Radar is an ad-supported discovery site for independent apps, tools, websites, and other small software projects. Its project pages and Project Notes explain what each project does, who it may help, and where to try it.

A little more context

Project Radar is a place to find the smaller apps, tools, websites, and side projects that can be easy to miss. Readers can browse projects, explore themed collections, save finds in their browser, and read Project Notes for more context. Tanner, the builder and teacher behind TheAvgDev, runs the site. Ads and labeled paid placements help support Project Radar. Payment does not buy a favorable Project Note or an editorial pick.

Behind the site

Project Radar is built and run by Tanner, a builder and teacher behind TheAvgDev. The site gives independent projects a place to be found and readers a useful starting point.

Small tools for specific jobs

A file to fix, a habit to keep, a task that comes up again tomorrow. The project directory is a starting point for stories about people making software for a particular need.

How the site is supported

Project Radar is ad-supported, with labeled paid placements and optional services for builders. Payment does not buy a favorable Project Note or an editorial pick.

Project Notes help readers decide what to explore. They do not mean every feature has been tested. Check the project's own website for current pricing and availability.
