About Sidehunt
SideHunt is the weekly hunt built for side projects and indie digital products. Launches open every Monday for a full seven-day vote, then remain in the directory and Hall of Fame instead of vanishing after launch day. Free slots are capped each week; Premium skips that queue, comes with a launch blog post, guaranteed dofollow backlinks, and a desktop homepage sidebar spotlight while the hunt is live.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Blastra support Sidehunt?
- Soon. Blastra is currently testing submissions to Sidehunt — we're trialing it on a limited basis to confirm it delivers for customers before adding it to the standard service. Once testing wraps up, we'll handle submissions to Sidehunt the same way as currently supported directories: account setup, listing copy, and approval follow-up, with no extra work on your side.
- Is Sidehunt free to list on?
- Free listings are available on Sidehunt, with optional paid upgrades on top. The upgrades exist to flesh out a more robust profile, which helps with LLM visibility and matters most when Sidehunt is one of the directories you want to prioritize for review collection. Most companies start free and only revisit upgrades once they see results from being there.
- Is Sidehunt a good fit for Side projects companies?
- Yes. Sidehunt specializes in Side projects, which means the audience is pre-qualified by category — buyers, analysts, and operators already focused on this space rather than general software shoppers. That audience pre-qualification is the single strongest signal for return on a listing, and it's why niche directories often outperform general ones.
- Are reviews part of how Sidehunt works?
- No, reviews aren't a meaningful part of Sidehunt. The platform's value isn't built on review volume, so a review collection campaign isn't required to benefit from a listing here. If you have a review strategy already, focus that energy on directories where reviews actually drive ranking or visibility.
- Can I list a pre-launch product on Sidehunt?
- No. Sidehunt requires the product to be in general access — beta-only or waitlist-only products won't be approved. The reviewers want a working, purchasable product they can verify before publishing the listing. If you're still in private beta, hold off on submitting to Sidehunt until you go publicly available.
