Introducing BTCAppHub — A Discovery Hub for Bitcoin Apps

Apps

Gm everyone

I’ve been building something to solve a problem I kept running into while exploring the Stacks/Bitcoin ecosystem:

Discovering apps is still too fragmented and unclear.

You often have to:

  • scroll through X threads
  • rely on word of mouth
  • guess which apps are trustworthy

So I decided to build BTCAppHub, a simple platform to make app discovery easier, clearer, and more structured.

What BTCAppHub Does

BTCAppHub is designed to help users:

  • Discover apps across the Bitcoin ecosystem
  • Evaluate trust using simple signals (e.g. audit status, risk level)
  • Explore by category (DeFi, Gaming, Analytics, Dev Tools, Education)
  • Find what’s active via Trending, Featured, and Recently Added sections

Current Features (V1)

  • Homepage with:

    • Trending
    • Featured
    • Recently Added

  • Individual app pages with:

    • description
    • links
    • basic trust context

  • Category-based browsing

  • App submission flow (simple form to list a project)

Why I Built This

I believe discovery is one of the biggest bottlenecks for the ecosystem.

Great apps exist, but:

  • users can’t easily find them
  • builders struggle to get visibility

BTCAppHub aims to bridge that gap.

What I’d Love Feedback On

I’m still early, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback from the community:

  1. Discovery UX

    • Does the homepage layout (Trending / Featured / Recent) make sense?
    • What feels missing?

  2. Trust Signals

    • What signals would actually help you decide if an app is safe to try?
    • (e.g. audits, usage metrics, team info, etc.)

  3. Categories

    • Are the current categories enough?
    • What should be added or restructured?

  4. Submission Flow

    • What would make builders more likely to submit their apps?

What’s Coming Next

Planned improvements:

  • verified badges / stronger trust signals
  • better ranking logic
  • richer app profiles
  • analytics & usage indicators
  • tighter integration with Stacks ecosystem tools

Call to Builders

If you’re building on Stacks/Bitcoin:

  • You can submit your app
  • Get early visibility
  • Help shape how discovery works

Would love to hear your thoughts, even critical ones.

If this becomes useful, it’ll be because of community input.

Thanks.

This is great — discovery is definitely needed.

I’ve been building tools focused on usability (starting with taxes):

Would love to see more “real-use” tools surface here.

This is a good idea.

It needs more on-chain stats though. As it stands it’s just a version of the ecosystem page of the main Stacks website.

I’d like to see you develop it to be more a Stacks DappRadar. This way you could pick up on new projects without them having to specifically register with you and you’d have a reason to regularly post on social media channels about network activity further raising awareness of the hub.
