how a launch works
From submit to shipped in one week
The whole process is built around a single launch day, so nobody has to fight for attention on a random Tuesday.
step 1
Submit your project
Name, tagline, a few screenshots and your link. It takes a couple of minutes and there is no review queue to wait in.
step 2
Go live on launch day
Every launch in a batch ships on the same day, so the whole community shows up at once. We cap the spots each week to keep every product visible.
step 3
Collect upvotes for a week
Makers, early adopters and other founders vote and leave feedback. Your launch stays on the front page for the full seven days.
step 4
Top 3 get badges and a dofollow link
The three most upvoted launches earn a weekly badge. Embed it on your site with a link back to us and the dofollow backlink is yours.
weekly winner badges
Three badges a week. Each one carries a dofollow link.
Finish in the top three and you get a badge to embed on your site. Link it back to indieshipped and the backlink is dofollow, permanently. Premium launches get the same backlink guaranteed, plus priority placement on the homepage.

A week on the front page
