Use Cases

You ship across multiple categories. A SaaS, a paid newsletter, a Gumroad lead magnet, a Discord community, maybe an Etsy print or a productized service. Every promotion surface you have is single-category and time-bound. Reddit's "plug your project" threads die in 48 hours. Product Hunt launches expire in 24. BetaList only takes pre-launch SaaS. Etsy is physical crafts only. Gumroad's marketplace favors high-volume sellers via algorithm. Your portfolio site gets no traffic.

Plug Your Build is where you list everything you ship and have it stay listed. Other indie makers and operators browse by category, find your work through long-tail search, and land directly on your destination. You pay $3.99/month per listing for permanent placement that compounds attention over time instead of resetting every week. Featured listings ($14.99/mo) get top-of-category placement and inclusion in the weekly Sunday digest sent to other makers and buyers.

The 14-day free trial means you can list now, see what kind of traffic the directory sends you, and decide whether to keep paying after two weeks. No commitment up front, no founding-spot urgency, no "first 50 free" gimmicks. Just permanent, browseable, multi-category visibility for indie work.

Comments

The problem with most directory sites is listings expire or get buried. The permanent listing angle is actually the right call for indie projects where discovery happens weeks or months after launch. Curious whether the cross-category browsing works — a SaaS founder might not think to look in Etsy-adjacent categories but there could be genuine audience overlap.

I definitely like the concept, but I'm hesitant about the $3.99/month cost on a new site that currently has a DR of 1. Have you considered giving new customers a longer trial period to try to build more momentum until the site is more widely used?

Moving away from the ephemeral 'launch day' model to permanent listings is a huge win for indie hackers. Most products need slow-burn discovery, not just a 24-hour spike. Really curious how the platform handles cross-niche recommendations, though. Sometimes the best early adopters come from totally unrelated categories who just happen to stumble across your solution.

Love the idea of moving beyond the “24-hour launch window” mindset. A permanent home for indie projects across different categories feels much more aligned with how real discovery actually happens. Simple concept with strong long-term potential 🚀
