Submit your tool to IndieLogs

A build-in-public site where founders get a profile page, list their projects and post journal updates. Projects appear in category pages and a leaderboard ranked by update activity.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free for one startup, paid plans for more

Is IndieLogs worth it?

Useful if you already post progress updates and want one more place for them, plus a followed link from your founder and project pages. The free plan covers one startup; more startups and front-page visibility need a monthly or yearly subscription whose price is not shown publicly. A listing you never update drops down the activity rankings, so the value comes from posting regularly, not from a one-time submission.

Who should submit to IndieLogs?

Suits indie founders and small teams who build in public and are willing to write updates. Less useful for makers who want a one-off directory listing and will not return, for companies with several products who do not want a subscription, and for anyone looking for a large stream of buyers.

What you need before you submit

  • An account via Google, X or an email link
  • A username, which becomes your profile URL
  • A short bio
  • One startup on the free plan

How to submit to IndieLogs

  1. Sign in at indielogs.com/auth
  2. Set up your founder profile with name, username and bio
  3. Add your startup with its URL and category
  4. Post journal updates so your project stays visible in rankings and category pages
