Reviewed by an editor, and the badge is what turns the link dofollow
madewithstack.com
Eligibility
Who MadeWithStack accepts
You need
A commitment to install their badge, as a required checkbox
A canonical homepage, not a docs page or a blog post
At least one stack signal
You'll be rejected if
They say plainly that they reject duplicates, weak fits, misleading products and URLs that point at docs, blog posts or non-canonical landing pages.
The Agent Directory claim is refused for minor AI features: it wants agent-native behaviour, agent-led creation or an agentic workflow at the centre of the product.

What you actually get
A reviewed listing with a public page, a place in the stack listings and a visible outbound link. Every approved listing links to the product homepage; only a badge-verified one qualifies for the dofollow upgrade, after a second manual check. A separate Agent Directory sits alongside the main catalogue for products where agent behaviour is central, and you claim it on the same form.
How to submit to MadeWithStack
1
Open /submit
No account. The page carries a live Review readiness checklist with four cards: core fields, stack evidence, Agent Directory evidence and badge commitment.
2
Fill the core fields
Name, URL, a description of at most 240 characters, an email for review updates, audience tags, and your stack either from their tool search or as free text in "Other tools used".
3
Add the Agent Directory claim if it is honest
"Add Agent Directory evidence" opens a qualification type, a use case, a qualification statement of at most 180 characters, a workflow summary, the agent tools used and supporting links.
4
Tick the badge commitment and submit
You get a "Submission received" panel, the badge snippet, a visibility ladder and an unverified owner claim tied to the email you gave.

Gotchas
The badge is not optional in spirit: the form makes you tick a commitment to install it, and it is what makes an approved listing eligible for the dofollow upgrade. Without it you get a link, but not a following one.
Three separate length caps will each bounce the form one at a time: the description at 240 characters, the qualification statement at 180, and every agent tool name at 60.
A URL pointing at your docs, your blog or a campaign landing page is a stated rejection reason. Give them the canonical homepage.
Approval is editorial and batched with no stated wait, and the Agent Directory claim is judged separately from the main listing.
