About Other
Some new businesses refuse to sit neatly on a shelf. A mobile repair van that doubles as a seed library, a one-room museum above a launderette, a cooperative that rents out ladders: the Other page is where we keep the ones that do not match any of our named headings.
Treat it as a wandering corner of the map rather than a bin. Each entry here lists a product or business that has opened, or is about to, and the page offers filters so you can narrow a loose collection by whatever matters to you. If you are hunting for something specific, try a named category first, then come back here for the oddities. If you are opening something unusual yourself, this is a sensible home, though we would ask you to pick the closest named heading when one honestly fits, since people tend to browse by those first.
Other: questions answered
- What kind of business belongs in Other?
- Anything new and genuinely small or local that does not match a named category. Unusual hybrids, one-off community ventures and services with no obvious label all fit. If a named heading describes your main activity, choose that instead so visitors can find you.
- Can I list in Other and also appear elsewhere?
- Yes. Your listing has one main category, included free. If Other is the main one, you can add up to 3 more categories with the upgrade for $5, so a hybrid can sit in several relevant places.
- How do I get a listing into this category?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. The profile is drafted from your site, then you review and change every field before it goes live. Pick Other as the main category in that form if nothing else suits.
- In what order are the listings shown?
- Newest first by default, so recent openings sit at the top. Visitors can instead sort by community votes. Votes cannot be bought, so that ordering reflects what people have actually backed.
- How should I compare businesses in a catch-all category?
- Start with what the business actually does, since labels are loose here. Check where it operates, who it serves and how recently it opened. Use the filters to cut the list down, then read each profile for the details a heading cannot give you.
