Sidehunt

Sidehunt operates as a weekly showcase where creators of side projects and indie products can submit their work, receive votes, and gain exposure to early adopters. Each week a new “hunt” is opened, listing recent submissions across categories such as AI tools, productivity apps, design utilities, and data‑science resources. Participants can browse the current lineup, vote for favorites, and view past hunts to see which projects earned badges and backlinks.

The platform targets indie developers, makers, and hobbyists who want to test market interest and attract users quickly. By concentrating submissions into a single weekly event, Sidehunt creates a focused audience of “hunters” who actively try new launches, providing feedback and visibility that might be harder to obtain through broader channels.

Distinctive aspects include real‑time voting, a competitive badge system for the top three hunted products, and the provision of dofollow backlinks to winners. The site also highlights a count of trusted indie builders, emphasizing community participation and a recurring cadence for product discovery.
