Submit to Awesome Indie
A daily launchpad for indie makers that publishes roughly 15 to 25 products a day, each with its own launch day, product page and maker profile. It is browsed by other makers and people looking for small independent tools. Paying only changes when and how visibly you launch, not your place in the ranking.

How to submit to Awesome Indie
Open the Awesome Indie submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
Awesome Indie asks you to sign up before you can submit.
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.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Awesome Indie (Indie makers and people looking for small independent products), not for search engines.
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 Indie
- You only need to give the product URL; the site drafts the name, tagline and description, which you can then rewrite.
- Only submit things you built or helped build; submitting someone else's product is a stated reason for rejection.
- Don't submit a placeholder or template page. Keep it as a private draft until the site is real, because the AI check rejects pages that don't load or look unfinished.
- Aim for 20 upvotes, since that is what turns your link into a do-follow link on the free plan.
From Awesome Indie’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for product launch platforms.
- 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
- A chosen launch date, with time blocked to reply to comments
- A maker comment: why you built it and what feedback you want
- Gallery images or a short demo video
- An optional launch-day offer for that platform’s users
Is Awesome Indie worth it?
Depends on the listing
Awesome Indie uses followed links on some listings and not others. Read the evidence above and check which kind your listing gets before you pay for anything.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 38 (moderate). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
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.
