What you actually get
A dofollow link and a listing page with a comment thread and a review widget nobody uses. Look at the numbers before you budget any hope: the top products of the last few days carry one vote and 10 to 20 views each, and the listing URL is a raw UUID rather than your product's name.
How to submit to The Hack Stack
1
Create an account
Name, email, password, confirm password at /register. There is no Google or GitHub option, so this step is manual.
2
Open Submit a Hack
/add-product redirects to the login page until you are signed in. The header CTA and three footer links all point at the same form.
3
Fill the listing
Live listings render a name, a one-line tagline, a long description, up to three category tags, a logo and the outbound website link, so that is what the form collects.
4
Watch for the daily slot
Products are grouped by the date they were posted and one of them is picked as Hack of the Day. Recent days have carried between 1 and 10 submissions.

Gotchas
No Google or GitHub sign-in: an email-and-password account is the only route in, which also means an agent cannot do this one for you end to end.
They publish no submission policy, no guidelines and no review time. The only evidence of turnaround is that listings carry the date they were posted, including today's.
Listing URLs are raw UUIDs, so the page has no keyword in it. The link is dofollow, which is the entire value here.
