Show HN: Why Finding the Right Content Tools Is So Hard (and How I Fixed It)

3 roubalsehgal 0 3/29/2025, 12:25:02 PM

Hey HN,

I’ve always found it frustrating to discover good content creation tools—there are thousands out there, but:

Most lists are bloated with low-quality or outdated tools.

AI hype is everywhere, making it hard to separate useful tools from gimmicks.

Pricing isn’t always transparent, and affordable/free tools are buried.

The real challenge? Finding the right tools for specific needs—like: Turning podcasts into YouTube Shorts effortlessly. Writing high-engagement LinkedIn posts with AI assistance. Creating viral TikToks with easy-to-use video editors. Generating email copy optimized for conversions.

So I built ContentCreation.tools—a curated directory of content tools, with: No-bullsh*t lists—only high-quality tools. Budget filters—find free/affordable options easily. Curated tool stacks—get the right set of tools for specific tasks.

Would love to hear your thoughts! What are your biggest frustrations when searching for the right tools? How do you currently find them?
