About appl.ist

appl.ist lets independent makers build a public portfolio page that gathers their projects, headline numbers and social profile links in one place. Each page lives on a custom URL, so a maker can share a single link instead of pointing people to several separate sites and accounts.

It is a hosted commercial product aimed at indie hackers and solo builders who ship small products and want a simple profile to show them off. Further details about templates, integrations and pricing are not published in the information available for this listing.
