Submit your tool to ShinyLaunch

ShinyLaunch is a weekly launch board where makers post new products, which appear as Upcoming and then Launched This Week, with votes and category pages. Submitting needs an account, with Google login or email signup.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free per third-party lists; terms shown only after login

Is ShinyLaunch worth it?

A low effort extra listing for AI tools and small SaaS products, but do not expect SEO value from it. Most product links checked carried rel nofollow, including one product that displays the ShinyLaunch badge, and only a minority were followed with no visible reason. Plans and prices sit behind the login, so check the form before committing. Use it for a permanent page and a little launch week traffic, and pick accurate categories so the product shows on the right category and alternatives pages.

Who should submit to ShinyLaunch?

Suits indie makers shipping AI tools, browser extensions, utilities and small SaaS products who are already posting on several launch boards. The listings mix software with local businesses and service pages, so the audience is broad and not very technical. It does not suit founders who want a strong backlink or a targeted B2B audience.

  • Product name, URL, short description and logo
  • Categories and pricing model of the product
