Hello everybody! After 6 months of design, development and content curation process, we've finally launched the biggest curated directory for WordPress and I feel delighted to share with the community of Product Hunters. ## Why we built this? WPCOM is born with one simple idea; discovering all of the WordPress resources in one place -- to save time and have a bigger perspective about them. While doing this, we have curated some of the resources according to our previous experiences as well as adding the other possible alternatives, so actual users can share and rate their experiences to lead others. ## About the resources WordPress is a huge iceberg and like every iceberg, there are parts that we've never heard of, or never explored yet. Did you know that there are more than 50.000+ plugins alone in WordPress.org directory? Can you imagine how many WordPress services, tools, resources spread all over the internet? That's why, we've extensively gathered and carefully selected 350+ resources in 5 main categories; Tools, Hosting, Themes, Support and Courses. In terms of numbers and current date, this is the biggest curated directory for WordPress. ## About how you can contribute We're trying to build more than directory... a community where people can have a voice over the resources. So any comments, suggestions and shares will help us to make this platform more than just a directory. Thank you for checking this out! :)

The insane variety is why I love and Hate wordpresss :) Many possibilities make you always question if your design is perfect or not

@roncothronovich Right? Actually that's the exact starting point when we decided to build WPCOM. There are lot's of possibilities -- which is great but at the same time, there are lot's of downfalls as well; some resources may have bad documentations, badly coded or sent uncachable requests which makes your server/hosting bloated. So, we have gathered these resources according our previous experiences as developers, as well as doing some research about the possible alternatives. I hope WPCOM makes your life easier when selecting your next WordPress tool, hosting, theme or support service! :)

@atknoz I think there's a lot of potential but wish it would have many more free plugins and themes. Or at least way to filter it

@roncothronovich I hear you. Noted this! :) It's hard to find extensively problem solver tools without any cost. At the end, you find yourself adding bunch of free plugins even for small things... 40 plugins, 50 plugins... Updating them, checking their security patches etc... Huh, lot's of parameters right? We tried to do our best to add free plugins -- the ones that solves big problems compared to their alternatives. Nearly %25-%30 of listed plugins are free or have a freemium option to trial. However, we're planning to add more filters and even badges for the v2. Stay tuned :)

@roncothronovich Interesting observation Ron. Every time I use the admin panel, one or another pops up which gets my attention in a pretty useful way. Makes me rethink , whether I have planned everything or not :)
