What you actually get
Their own promise on the sign-in wall is a listing in a daily launch feed, a badge for the top three ranking products, and a DR 38+ dofollow backlink. None of it is confirmable: the account you need cannot be created, and every outbound link we could read is rel="nofollow noopener".
How to submit to SubmitHunt
1
Sign in first
/submit renders 'Please sign in to continue' and opens a modal whose only option is Continue with Google. Signing in creates the account.
2
Expect the backend to refuse
The Google button hands off to their Supabase project, which currently answers with a service-restricted message instead of the Google consent screen.
3
Fill and launch, in principle
Past sign-in they describe a launch into a daily feed with rankings, a badge for the day's top three, and a dofollow link. We could not reach any of it.

Gotchas
You cannot sign in, and therefore cannot submit. The Continue with Google button redirects to their Supabase auth endpoint, which answers: 'Service for this project is restricted due to the following violations: exceed_cached_egress_quota. The project owner must upgrade their plan or remove spend caps to restore service.' Same response twice, minutes apart. Every marketing page renders normally, so the site looks healthy right up to the moment you try to use it.
