# MakerHunt > Daily indie product hunt for makers. Submit, launch around 09:00 UTC, vote, earn PotD/W/M badges. Free with a homepage badge crawl or review queue; paid tiers skip both. MakerHunt is a launch and discovery platform for indie builders, SaaS, tools, and creator-led projects. Listing pages live at `/projects/{slug}`. Maker profiles live at `/makers/{username}`.
