## About

Side Projects, at sideprojects.net, is a daily launchpad for indie makers who want to show what they built and meet the people who will use it. Each day the site lists projects launching that day, and visitors can react to them and climb a leaderboard. The pricing page says every project gets a free launch slot from the queue. Paid options include Skip the line at $29 one-time to choose an exact launch date, a Relaunch at $15 one-time, SideProjects Pro at $8 /month or $79/year, a Featured spot at $99 /week, and a Project review at $120 one-time. A Newsletter sponsor slot costs $150 /issue. The pages do not state a review time, whether listings get a backlink, or whether an account is required, so founders should check those before submitting. Listed categories include AI, developer tools, productivity, marketing, and design.

## How to submit

Join the queue for a free launch slot and launch when a slot opens, or pay $29 one-time to pick your launch date.
