DevHunt is a community-driven directory specifically for developer tools. Think of it as "Product Hunt for developers." With a growing DA of 45 and a highly engaged developer audience, DevHunt is the ideal directory for dev tools, APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and developer-focused SaaS. The launch mechanics are similar to Product Hunt — community voting determines featured products.
DevHunt uses GitHub authentication. Sign in at devhunt.org with your GitHub account. This connects your developer identity to your launch, adding credibility.
Click "Launch" to submit your developer tool. Fill in: (1) Tool name and URL. (2) GitHub repository link (if applicable). (3) Short description focused on what the tool does for developers. (4) Category tags (API, CLI, SDK, framework, etc.). (5) Logo/icon.
DevHunt's audience is developers. Skip the marketing fluff and focus on: What does this tool do? How does it integrate? What's the tech stack? Is it open source? Include code examples or CLI commands in your description if relevant. Developers want to know how it works, not just what it promises.
Like Product Hunt, DevHunt features daily launches. Share your launch in developer communities: r/webdev, r/programming, Dev.to, Twitter/X developer circles, and relevant Discord servers. Engage with comments on your DevHunt launch page — answer technical questions in detail.
DevHunt ranks products by community votes. The top products each day get featured in the "best of" lists and email newsletters. Authentic engagement from real developers is key — the community is small enough that fake votes are easily spotted.
Orbator optimizes your DevHunt submission with developer-focused descriptions, suggests relevant category tags, and provides a launch-day checklist. It tracks your listing and monitors the backlink — while DevHunt's DA is still growing, the developer-focused referral traffic is highly valuable for dev tool companies.
