r/indiehackers

Why launch on r/indiehackers?

Revenue, growth and build-in-public stories. The audience is indie founders, and the listing is a community. A small subreddit focused on the business of indie products. Launch links are tolerated less than lessons. Share a number, a mistake or a teardown and the response is much better.

How to submit to r/indiehackers

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 r/indiehackers 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.

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.
