Lobsters

Why launch on Lobsters?

A technical project with a real story. The audience is developers and technical readers, and the listing is a community. A small, high-signal link community for developers. Self-promotion is tolerated only when the project is technically interesting, so write the post for the community, not the launch.

How to submit to Lobsters

1. Make sure your product page is live, fast and clear about who it is for.
2. Prepare a short tagline, a longer description, a logo and two or three screenshots.
3. Open Lobsters and follow its current submission instructions.
4. Fill in the audience, category and pricing fields as accurately as you can; they decide who sees the listing.
5. After publishing, check the live URL and add it to your own launch page or press kit.

What to prepare

• A one-line description and a 50–100 word summary.
• A square logo and a 16:9 screenshot of the product in use.
• A public pricing page, even if the answer is “free”.
• A founder or maker profile so people can see who built it.
• A tagged URL so you can measure the referral traffic.

Pricing and link policy

Pricing: Free; invite-based accounts.

Link policy: Nofollow. Check the platform before you pay; rules change, and the value is the audience and referral traffic, not only the link attribute.
