Is Carrd worth it?
Useful tool, weak launch channel. Carrd has no directory, feed or audience that would discover your product, so a Carrd page only gets the traffic you send to it. Links on a Carrd page are plain links you control, so they are followed, but a new carrd.co subdomain carries almost no authority. Use it to ship a cheap landing page or waitlist fast, not as a place to get listed.
Who should submit to Carrd?
Suits makers who need a quick landing page, waitlist or link page before the real site exists, on a very small budget. Not useful for makers who already have a website and want discovery, reviews or backlinks from an established domain.
