What you actually get
A founder page at indielogs.com/<username> with your startups listed under it, a dofollow link out, and a place in a directory whose leaderboard is driven by update frequency. That last part is the real cost: the ranking rewards people who keep posting, so a listing you never touch again sinks.
How to submit to IndieLogs
1
Sign in
Sign in with Google, X or email at /auth. The account is created by the same click and lands on a free plan with no card.
2
Set up the founder profile
A modal gates everything else: full name, the username that becomes indielogs.com/<you>, an 80-character bio, an avatar and seven social fields plus a custom link.
3
Add your startups
Startups hang off the founder profile rather than being submitted separately, and they appear in the Startups feed and the category pages.
4
Keep posting updates
The directory at /rankings sorts founders by updates per day, week, month and all time, so the listing is a running log rather than a one-off submission.

Gotchas
The bio is capped at 80 characters, which is shorter than most packs carry, so bring a trimmed version.
Visibility here is a subscription of effort, not a submission: the public leaderboard ranks founders by how many updates they posted this day, week and month.
We could not complete the profile setup: the Save changes button cleared the form and persisted nothing across three attempts, and the modal blocks the Billing and Appearance tabs until it saves. Budget for that going wrong.
Let your agent submit to IndieLogs
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the IndieLogs playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
What it does for this platform
