## About

MakerHunt is an AI launch platform for makers, indie builders, and founders who want to put a product in front of early adopters. It runs a weekly hunt where projects launch every Monday at 8:00 AM UTC and stay live on the homepage for 7 days while the community votes. Founders sign in with email, Google, or GitHub, submit their project, and the MakerHunt team reviews each submission before it goes live. The Free and Nofollow launch plans cost nothing, but the Free plan requires a MakerHunt badge on your website. A Premium Launch costs $19/ launch and includes a guaranteed dofollow backlink, a homepage sidebar spotlight while live, and a launch blog post. Top 3 projects in the weekly competition can earn badges and dofollow backlinks. Before submitting, check which link type you need, because Nofollow Launch links are always nofollow.

## How to submit

Sign in with email, Google, or GitHub, submit your project, then wait for team review before it goes live.
