What you actually get
A post in a small community run by Robin Good, a curator who has been publishing tool round-ups since the early 2000s, on a site whose banner reads "Best Zero-Cost Tools for indie entrepreneurs". Member posts are allowed and are moderated: publishing puts the post in an approval queue rather than on the front page. Listings carry a plain dofollow link to the product, confirmed on our own, and the readership is his rather than a marketplace's.

How to submit to T5 by Robin Good

  1. Register
    /register takes an email, a password and a confirmation. There is no Google or other single sign-on: the card offers the password form and nothing else.
  2. Press New Post and get a draft
    New Post is a header button with no URL behind it. Pressing it creates an empty draft immediately and silently, so a stray click leaves junk in your Drafts list that only you can clear.
  3. Fill the editor
    Title, URL and a Quill rich-text body, with a category select, a tag box and a sticky toggle down the side. Auto-save is on. Content blocks for a cover image, an image, a video, code or a smart link sit in the left rail.
  4. Save and publish, then wait for approval
    Save & Publish moves the post out of Drafts and onto its own /item/<id>/<slug> URL, where it reads "This post has been submitted and is currently waiting for an approval." There is no queue position and no stated review time.

Gotchas

Registration is email and password only. There is no single sign-on of any kind on the card, so this one cannot be handed to an agent that only does Google.
Publishing does not publish. The post leaves your drafts and sits at its own URL reading "waiting for an approval", with no queue position and no review time stated anywhere on the site.
Pressing New Post creates an empty draft the moment you click it, before you have typed anything, so a mis-click leaves a blank post in your Drafts that you have to clear yourself.
