What you actually get
A page under /project-detail/ with your name, a one-line description, three keyword chips and an AI-written description paragraph, plus a card in the long homepage grid. The Visit Website button is rel="noopener noreferrer" with a utm_source appended, so the link is followed. The featured strip at the top of the homepage is a separate thing you only get by putting their badge up and emailing them.
How to submit to ProjectHunt
1
Open the modal
Submit in the header is a button, not a link: /submit is a 404. It opens a modal on whatever page you are on.
2
Fill four fields
Email, project name, project URL and a logo file. That is the whole form; there is no description field, no category and no account.
3
Tick the Cloudflare box
An interactive Turnstile widget sits above the submit button and does not solve itself.
4
Submit and wait
They say they review and reply within 24 hours. The description on your page is written by their AI from your site, not by you.

Gotchas
The Cloudflare Turnstile above the submit button is the interactive kind and stays unticked on its own, so the last step needs a person however you got to it.
Nothing you write becomes the listing. The form takes no description, and the paragraph on your project page is generated from your site afterwards, so your positioning is theirs to decide.
The Submit control is a button with no route behind it. Guessing /submit gives their 404 page, which is the only thing that looks like an answer if you go looking for the form directly.
Let your agent submit to ProjectHunt
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the ProjectHunt 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
