AI-curated design directory focused on enduring tools, methods, and references.
Visit Archalist →The Problem
Design and architecture professionals spend hours bookmarking resources that turn stale, wade through SEO-spam directories full of dead links, and rely on Reddit threads that get buried. There was no clean, maintained, trustworthy place to find the tools and publications that actually matter in practice.
The Solution
Archalist combines human editorial judgment with AI maintenance — resources are scored, categorized, and periodically rechecked for quality. Everything in the directory has been reviewed. Nothing is there because someone paid for placement. The result is a small, honest list that grows carefully.
Archalist is a curated, AI-maintained directory of the best tools, publications, and references for interior designers, architects, makers, and engineers. Focused on resources with staying power — the kind that are still relevant in five years. Signal over noise.
Built on Next.js 16 with Cloudflare Pages and D1 (SQLite at the edge). AI analysis via the Anthropic API scores each submission on relevance, quality, and durability before it goes live.
