Launch platforms

Awesome Indie

Indie makers' own products

Daily launchpad for indie products ranked by upvotes, with 15 to 25 launches a day. Sign-in is with Google, GitHub or X; a free account can launch one product, and a site launched there in the last six months is refused.

Awesome Indie is a launch platform at awesomeindie.com. It takes AI product launches, with a rule: indie makers' own products. Listing is free; a paid spot starts at $9.99. The link you get is nofollow until the product passes 20 upvotes, then a followed link, worked out live from the upvote count (FAQ). Review: an AI check reads each submission, usually within the hour; anything not clear-cut goes to a human, which can take a day or two. Free launches then wait in a queue about four months deep.
