#2Great , also in 5 years or so keep the site up. Even though there will be graves of startups there's still something you can learn from.

#3Whilst this is pretty handy, I balked at the "let us submit for you for $89". Like - eek! Really?!
Also - the "get the pdf version" is really a dark pattern since you're not allowed to download it without first paying some non-zero amount that you laughably get to choose. Might be a bit nicer to say, "buy the pdf version".

#4Would be much more useful as a static website. Right now, I find something i'm interested in, navigate and read it, then click back to be back at the top of the list.
The article on `find` was nice, since that's a program I always have trouble with

It looks like “$0” as an amount works to get the PDF.

It’s not a dark pattern(1) if you enter the amount yourself (and you can enter 0.01$ I assume).

Interesting, I actually found the $89 a bargain given how long it will take to just create accounts on all these services before I can submit anything. That alone will take hours.
My worry is just that this service will quickly get marked as a spammer and probably blocked or downvoted as a poster in many places.

#10Why do you think that my _particular_ audience frequents either of these directories? Entrepreneurs should go after their customers, first and foremost. Submitting to irrelevant directories is not only lost time. It's dangerous because it suggests that we are doing something useful and that we don't have to chase the real audience anymore.
