What you actually get
A project page with upvotes and comments, launched at 08:00 UTC. It is the same DirEasy template as Smol Maker and Smol Top with a developer-tools lean, so expect the same link rule: verified listings link out clean, unverified ones carry nofollow and a ref parameter.

Gotchas

The domain was registered on 22 July 2026, so there is no history behind the listing yet and the rating can move either way.
It is the same wizard as its siblings and the badge is per site, so doing several of them means several badges in your footer for several listings at the same rating.
Next on the last step stays disabled until their check finds the badge, and leaving the page loses everything typed.
The category search box keeps focus after a pick, so text meant for Tech Stack lands in the search instead. Watch the counters.

Let your agent submit to Dev Lanz
