Gotchas
The $49 Express tier is SELECTED BY DEFAULT. Free Submission sits next to it with an empty radio, so submitting without looking hands you a paid checkout instead of the free listing.
Sign-in is Google or GitHub only, so the listing is tied to a social identity. Their modal explains it is anti-spam and promises they will not post on your behalf.
The subtitle is capped at 40 characters, which is shorter than most taglines and shorter than the 60 characters Product Hunt allows.
The image size is exact, not a suggestion: 1270x760 and under 1MB. Anything else needs resizing first.
