Submit your tool to The Hack Stack

A daily launch board for indie products. You create an email and password account, submit a product with a logo, tagline and description, and it appears in that day's list where visitors can vote, comment and review.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free, account required

Is The Hack Stack worth it?

Worth ten minutes for a free dofollow link and nothing more. The board is busy with AI image and video generators and the products on the front page in November 2026 had one vote and 10 to 17 views each, so do not expect traffic or feedback. Submit once with a clear tagline and a full description, link your real homepage, and move on to launch sites with an active audience.

Who should submit to The Hack Stack?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI tool builders who want a free backlink and one more listing in their launch checklist. It does not suit anyone hoping for users, votes or feedback, since engagement on recent listings is close to zero, and it does not suit people who want social sign in, since only email and password accounts are offered.

What you need before you submit

  • A live product URL
  • An account made with name, email and password
  • A logo, a one-line tagline and a longer description
  • Up to three categories

How to submit to The Hack Stack

  1. Register at thehackstack.com/register
  2. Log in, then open Submit a Hack (/add-product)
  3. Add the name, tagline, description, categories, logo and website URL
  4. Publish and check the listing on the day's board
