Is IndieHackerStacks worth it?
A small but useful listing for indie makers, mainly because your product shows up on every tool page in your stack, such as Next.js or Supabase pages. Product links are followed. A free account can add a product from the dashboard, and the Pro plan at $9 once is presented on the pricing page as the way to get a backlink and lifetime placement. Products are reviewed by hand and can be disapproved.
