A great way to show your project to the world is by sharing it on platforms like ProductHunt, Indiehackers, Reddit, etc. It’s also an easy way to get some traffic, feedback, and backlinks. Here are some great directories to submit your product.

IndieHackers

IndieHackers is a place where the founders of profitable businesses and side projects can share their stories transparently, and where entrepreneurs can come to read and learn from those examples.

ProductHunt

ProductHunt is now at the forefront when it comes to showcasing your product to the startup directory world. It has a voting system that enables your product to rise in the list of new products. The benefit of Product Hunt is that — if something goes viral — it can do so very quickly. It is a great platform to promote services on technology, games, or books, and well, pretty much everything.

HackerNews

If you have a technology-related project and/or are looking for some feedback, you can post it at HackerNews. Do not forget to mention that you are looking for feedback or give it an overly promotional title. Hacker News is a great platform if you have a startup serving a technical audience.
