How to submit to DevHunt
Open the DevHunt submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
DevHunt 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 DevHunt (Software developers looking for new dev tools and open-source projects), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for DevHunt
- Only developer-focused products fit: APIs, SDKs, frameworks, libraries, CLIs and dev tooling.
- Voters must log in with GitHub, so rally your developer community rather than a general audience.
- Winners get a newsletter feature, social posts and a winner badge; put the badge on your site.
From DevHunt’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 DevHunt worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but we couldn’t confirm that anyone reviews listings. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 64 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #976,110: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- We couldn’t find listing prices on their site. Check before you submit.
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.
