Eligibility

Who Make.rs accepts

You need
An account, and the only way in is a magic link by email
A maker profile, because projects hang off it rather than standing alone
You'll be rejected if
Anything posted by somebody who is not the maker, since the unit here is a person

What you actually get
A project page under your maker profile at make.rs/@you, with a Visit site button that carries no rel and therefore passes link equity, appended with ?ref=make.rs. The feed is chronological, so a post scrolls away rather than being ranked.

How to submit to Make.rs

  1. Claim your handle
    The homepage asks for the make.rs/@ you want. That page is the account.
  2. Sign in by email
    They mail a magic link. There is no password and no social provider.
  3. Post the project
    What you made, in your own words, with an image. It appears in the chronological feed.

Gotchas

The only way in is a magic link mailed to you, which is a stop for anything automating the run and a wait for everybody else.
The unit here is the maker, not the product. Your project hangs off a profile page about you, so there is no standalone listing to point anybody at.
The feed is chronological and there is no ranking, no vote and no launch day, so a post is seen by whoever is reading that day and then scrolls away.

Let your agent submit to Make.rs

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Make.rs 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 Make.rs rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 3 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Types it into Make.rs 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 Make.rs?".
