Why Dev Resources submissions get rejected or stall
- Resource is not for developers
- Duplicate of an existing resource
- URL uses a shared subdomain (vercel.app, netlify.app, etc.)
- URL contains query parameters
- Product is not yet available (waitlist, beta, coming soon)
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Use the exact category names from types/category.ts.
- Keep the description under 160 characters.
- Prefer the product's homepage URL; it becomes the listing screenshot.
- Add relevant keywords to improve search visibility.

Submit here if you have a developer-focused tool or resource and are comfortable with GitHub pull requests. The process is free but requires following strict formatting rules and passing automated review. Expect a manual review by the maintainer before your listing goes live.
