## What DevHunt is

DevHunt is a weekly launch platform for developer tools, where developers vote with their GitHub accounts. Listing is free, and the site's code is public on GitHub.

## Why people look for alternatives

- It's built for developer tools. Products for other audiences are shown separately and don't take part in the weekly vote.
- Voting and commenting need a GitHub account, so nearly everyone who votes is a developer.
- Picking your launch week and a permanent do-follow link come with the paid $49 launch, which also lists you above launches with equal votes.
