How to launch on DevHunt, step by step
DevHunt is a launch board for developer tools and open source projects. Only people signed in with GitHub can vote or comment, which keeps the audience developers.
Choose free or paid
A free launch waits about six months on average; a paid option skips the queue.
Lead with something developers can evaluate
Docs, a demo or a repository someone can try in minutes does more than a marketing page for this audience.
Aim for the weekly win
Weekly winners get a feature in the DevHunt newsletter, a post on its social channels, a winner badge, and discounts and credits from partner products.
