How chinese-independent-developer is put together
This repository is a curated, community-maintained directory of Chinese independent developers' projects, implemented entirely as Markdown documents with no application code. The main README.md is a reverse-chronological list of project entries grouped by the date they were added; each entry contains the developer name/location, GitHub profile link, project status emoji (in development / live / closed), and links to the project site or repo. Content is split across sub-editions (programmer tools, games) and an archived 2018-2020 list to work around GitHub rendering limits. Contributions arrive via Pull Requests or Issues and are merged into the Markdown lists by maintainers.

This is a curated directory of Chinese independent developers' projects, and the past month was dominated by a steady stream of new product listings — dozens per week — spanning AI tools, games, utilities, and developer resources. Alongside the additions, the maintainers invested heavily in housekeeping: reformatting descriptions, fixing pricing details on existing entries, and iterating on an internal automation 'skill' (v2.0 through v2.1) that governs how submissions are reviewed and merged. The pace peaked in mid-August with 40+ commits in two consecutive weeks before settling into a lighter final week.
