About Sidehunt
Sidehunt is a weekly launch and discovery platform for side projects and indie products. Makers submit a project to a weekly hunt, compete for community votes, and can publish a launch post for early-adopter reach, badges, and backlinks. Visitors browse launches and categories to discover new products. Sidehunt is a launch-list and promotion channel—not a SaaS product, project-management system, or AI app. The service lists free and nofollow launch options plus a $19 premium launch; its pricing page currently advertises a limited-time premium-free offer.
