What you actually get
A page listing your product's tech stack as clickable tool chips, plus reverse listings on every tool's own page, so you appear anywhere someone browses by Next.js or Supabase. Live listings link out with rel="noreferrer" only, so the link passes value, and placement is lifetime.
How to submit to IndieHackerStacks
1
Read the pricing first
The free tier is a real listing, not a trial: one product, lifetime placement, a dofollow backlink. The paid tier is a one-off for unlimited products.
2
Open the sign-up
Add your product stack in the header is the only entry point. It is a button, not a link, and there is no /login, /signup or /submit route.
3
List the stack
Live listings carry a name, tagline, a 'What is X?' paragraph, a screenshot and a grid of tool chips picked from their catalogue.

Gotchas
We could not get in at all: Log in, Add your product stack and even the FAQ accordions did nothing across six real clicks on three pages, and every route that does not exist returns HTTP 500 rather than 404. Product images on the homepage render as broken alt text. Check whether it responds before planning around it.
The listing is your tech stack, published. If you would rather not tell the world you run Supabase and Stripe, this is the wrong directory.
The upside if it works is unusually good: $0, one product, lifetime placement and a dofollow link, with no badge to maintain.
