About
DevHunt is a launchpad for developer tools, built for developers who want to launch and vote for new tools each week. It lists open-source tools, APIs and SDKs, frameworks, IDEs, CLIs, testing, monitoring and AI agents. Every tool gets a permanent page, and listing a tool is free, with a nofollow link to the tool's website. To submit, sign in, open your account and submit the tool with its name, website, description, logo and screenshots, then pick a launch week. A $19 launch adds a newsletter spot and a dofollow link, and a $49 boosted launch ranks above other launches on equal votes. Voting and comments require signing in with GitHub or Google. Home page ad slots are shown at $149/week. Tools not for developers, NSFW tools and services selling fake engagement are not accepted.
How to submit
Sign in, open your account, submit the tool with its name, website, description, logo and screenshots, then pick a launch week.
