Where indie hackers should actually launch
Indie products die on boards designed for well-funded launches. This ranking favors rooms where a $19/month tool can be seen, discussed, and tried without a street team.
Audience fit and ease weigh more in how we ordered this list than raw traffic. A kind, relevant comment is worth more than a thousand bouncing visitors.
Criteria: Audience fit for bootstrappers, ease, community quality, then overall score.
What to prepare
- One-line tagline that names the user and the job (not 'AI-powered platform')
- 300-word unique description — do not paste the same blurb onto every board
- Logo (square) plus 3–5 screenshots of the actual product, not a landing-page mock
- A tryable URL: signup, demo, or public repo — hunters bounce from waitlist-only pages on daily boards
- Founder comment ready: who it is for, what changed, how to try it in two minutes
Run this sequence
- Peerlist on the next Monday.
- Queue Uneed, or dwell on MicroLaunch if you cannot clear a day.
- SoloPush or TinyLaunch only if you built it alone and the assets are already done.
- Skip Product Hunt until a handful of people will show up.

What to measure
- Paying customers and reply quality — a $19 conversion beats a 200-upvote day.
- Which board sent someone who actually used the product.
- UTM per board (`?utm_source=peerlist`) so you know which hunt converted
- Signups, demo starts, and replies — not hunter counts
