Build in Public — Tools & Directories for Indie Hackers
Building in public? Here are all the directories and communities where indie hackers launch, get feedback, and grow their audience.
Building in public is the most powerful growth strategy for indie hackers. When you share your journey openly, you attract users who believe in your mission. Directories and communities are the launchpads — they give you initial traction, backlinks for SEO, and a community of fellow builders. LaunchPanda helps you submit to all of them efficiently so you spend less time on busywork and more time building.

Building in public needs somewhere to point
Sharing progress works better when there is a permanent page behind it. A directory listing gives you a stable URL that keeps working long after the post scrolls away.
The directories above skew toward audience and feedback platforms, which is where build in public posts actually land with people who care.
Turn updates into links
Every meaningful update is a reason to submit somewhere new. A launch, a major feature, a pricing change and a redesign are all legitimate reasons for a fresh listing.
That turns your build in public cadence into a backlink cadence, which is the part most founders leave on the table.
