## 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.

## Why it belongs in these categories

- **Marketing (primary):** Sidehunt belongs in Marketing because it distributes and promotes new products through weekly submissions, community votes, launch posts, backlinks, and early-adopter exposure. It is a launch-list channel, not an AI product or an operating SaaS.

## What Sidehunt does

- **Weekly hunt** — Submit side projects and indie launches to the current weekly competition.
- **Community voting** — Collect votes from makers and hunters who try new products.
- **Launch posts** — Showcase a project on a dedicated launch page and blog post.
- **Badges and backlinks** — Free launches can earn badges/backlink benefits through participation and top-three results; premium advertises a direct dofollow backlink.

## Who it’s for

Best for indie hackers, solo founders, and small teams launching side projects who want structured launch-day exposure and community feedback. Skip it if you need product analytics, project management, or operational SaaS features.

## What it costs

Free Launch — free. Nofollow Launch — free. Premium Launch — $19 per launch. The pricing page currently advertises a special offer allowing premium launches free for a limited time; confirm the offer terms at checkout.
