Awesome Indie
awesomeindie.comA Product Hunt style launch board for indie makers, side projects and micro startups, with a permanent product page after launch day. Submitting is free and takes one link: the site drafts the listing, checks it usually within the hour, and books the next free launch day, currently around four months out. Skip the Line costs $9.99 per product to choose a date. The link to your site is nofollow until the product passes 20 upvotes, so rally your own audience on launch day.
