Nothing published, but the whole shape of it rewards repeated changelog entries, so a product you post once and abandon gets the least out of it.

What you actually get
A permanent product page with a logo, tagline, link and description, plus a per-product changelog with versioning and RSS. Your ships feed a platform stream, a maker passport with achievement badges, and a weekly newsletter. The page stays up between launches rather than expiring.

How to submit to InventList

  1. Sign in
    GitHub, X, or an email sign-in link. There is no password. The account is shared with their other product, Nodepad, and they say so on the page.
  2. Submit at /submit
    Behind the login.

Gotchas

Their GitHub sign-in was broken on 31 August 2026: the OAuth client id 404s on GitHub's authorize endpoint, so that button leads to a GitHub error page. X and the email link are the ways in.
The account is shared with Nodepad, another product of theirs, and creating one here creates one there.
This is a changelog platform as much as a launch board: the value is in posting ships over time, not in one submission.

Let your agent submit to InventList

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the InventList 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
Checks your product against the 3 InventList rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 1 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: free to submit and they say free forever. Sponsoring a slot is the paid part, and extra live slots and a verified badge are earned by shipping rather than bought.
Types it into InventList in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to InventList?".
