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

Open to Feedback

Would love to hear your thoughts, even critical ones.

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

Thanks.

Great to see new apps!

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.
