What ABABTOOLS is and who it's for
ABABTOOLS is a curated discovery site for digital tools and resources, with sections for websites, software, hardware, clever gadgets, knowledge, resources, and developer tools. Almost every item on the main site is hand-picked for being interesting and useful. The site also features an 'exposure board' (曝光台) for user-submitted tools, which appear in a timeline after review. Articles are AI-assisted but curation is human.

Our take on ABABTOOLS
ABABTOOLS is worth submitting to if your product has a Chinese-language audience and fits its categories of interesting and useful tools. The free submission is quick and requires no account, but approval is not guaranteed and the site's main content is human-curated. Expect your listing to appear on the exposure board timeline if accepted.
