## 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.
