What you actually get
A launch page on a site that positions itself directly as a Product Hunt alternative, with launches, tools and a coming-soon shelf kept separately. The link follows: the Visit control on a live launch page carries rel="noopener noreferrer" with no nofollow. It also runs its own advertising and a directories section, so the page you land on is busier than the launch feed alone.

How to submit to Go Publicly

  1. Open the create page
    The Submit control leads to /create rather than to /submit.
  2. Fill the launch
    The form renders client side, so its fields are not in the page source.
  3. Wait
    No review time is published.

Gotchas

The submit control lands on /create, so a guessed /submit path is not where the form lives.
The site sells advertising and keeps its own directories section, so a free launch sits next to paid placement.
No review time is published, and launches, tools and coming-soon are three separate shelves, so it is worth checking which one you land on.
