Awesome Indie

awesomeindie.com

A Product Hunt style launch board for indie makers, side projects and micro startups, with a permanent product page after launch day. Submitting is free and takes one link: the site drafts the listing, checks it usually within the hour, and books the next free launch day, currently around four months out. Skip the Line costs $9.99 per product to choose a date. The link to your site is nofollow until the product passes 20 upvotes, so rally your own audience on launch day.

Who it's for

IndieConsumerDevelopers

The link is nofollow, so treat this as a traffic and discovery play rather than SEO. Worth it if the audience matches; skip if you're only after backlinks.
