Submit your tool to Makerlist.io

A startup and tools directory ranked by votes and clicks, which also lists Discord bots. Submitting is free after signing in with Google or GitHub, and each tool gets a page with a Visit link to its site.

Is Makerlist.io worth it?

Worth a few minutes for a free followed link: listing pages checked link out with no rel attribute, only a ?ref=makerlist.io parameter. Do not expect traffic or votes, as recent listings show 0 upvotes and a handful of visits, and spam listings (APK pages, fan wikis) sit next to real products. A paid skip-the-queue option is reported by third parties but could not be checked without signing in.

Who should submit to Makerlist.io?

Suits indie makers who want an extra free, followed link and do not mind a low-traffic, loosely moderated directory. It does not suit founders looking for launch traffic, feedback or a curated audience.
