# Submit your tool to Hatchr

## Is Hatchr worth it?

Worth an hour if you already post progress updates and want a timeline page for your product. The link only exists on a startup page, not on a plain project, so set up the startup part as well. The link has no nofollow, but the page is rendered in the browser by JavaScript, so its SEO value is modest. Traffic looks small: recent trending projects show one or two upvotes. Treat it as a portfolio and a place to post updates, not a launch day.

## Who should submit to Hatchr?

Suits indie makers, students and early founders who like to build in public and post regular updates, especially those in India, where the site is based and also bills in rupees. Less useful for a B2B SaaS that wants buyers or a quick traffic spike, since the feed is a mix of side projects, research work and SEO agency pages.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (email or Google sign-up)
- A project title and description
- Up to five categories and an optional cover image
- For the startup page: product URL, stage, founding year, your role and a square logo

## How to submit

1. Sign up and finish or skip the profile setup
2. Create a project with a title, description and categories
3. Open the project settings and request a startup page with your product URL
4. Post timeline updates so the project stays in the feed

## Pros

- Free to use
- Startup pages carry a followed link to your site
- Timeline format suits regular updates
- Embed widget can show your projects on your own site

## Cons

- A plain project has no link to your site
- Pages are rendered with JavaScript, so crawlers that do not run scripts see little
- Small audience with low vote counts
- Feed includes spammy SEO service posts

## Tips

- Do the startup page step, since that is where the link lives
- One report says the startup request needs an account at least 7 days old, so sign up early
- Post short updates over several weeks rather than one big post
- Join the Nests that match your product, such as AI/ML or SEO
