How to submit to Awesome Go

  1. Open the Awesome Go submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Awesome Go asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Awesome Go (Go developers looking for libraries and tools), not for search engines.

  5. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for Awesome Go

  • The repo needs at least 5 months of history, an open-source license, a go.mod and at least one SemVer release.
  • Test coverage should be at least 80% (90% for data packages), with pkg.go.dev, Go Report Card and coverage links in the PR body.
  • One PR adds one item, in alphabetical order, with a non-promotional description ending in a period.

From Awesome Go’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
  • Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
  • Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
  • Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits

Is Awesome Go worth it?

Good for your SEO foundation

Awesome Go reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 52 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #957,794: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • Free to list, so the only cost is your time.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
