Is Shipitsoon worth it?
Worth a few minutes for any indie software product. Listing is free, no badge is asked for, and the outbound link to the product carries rel noopener noreferrer with no nofollow. The catalog is small (82 apps at the time of checking), so expect a link and little traffic. Write a plain description of what the product does, since the terms forbid listings made mainly for link building.
Who should submit to Shipitsoon?
Suits indie makers of web apps, SaaS, Mac apps and developer tools who want one more free, followed link. Less useful for anyone who needs real traffic or buyers, since the directory is young and small. Not a fit for listings that exist only for SEO, which the terms rule out.
What you need before you submit
- An account with a permanent email (relay and disposable addresses are refused)
- A live software product with a public URL
- A site that lets ShipitsoonBot load it for a screenshot
How to submit to Shipitsoon
- Create an account at shipitsoon.com/users/sign_up
