Sidehunt

sidehunt.io

A weekly competition for side projects and indie products that runs Monday to Monday with real votes and a hall of fame. Free launches take one of 15 weekly slots, need a link to Sidehunt on your site and get a nofollow Website link unless you finish in the top three. Premium is a one-time $19 for an immediate dofollow link, a launch blog post, a homepage sidebar spot while live and no badge or slot limit. Submissions are reviewed within a day or two and need a 400-word description.
