# DevHunt
> DevHunt (https://devhunt.org) is a launchpad for developer tools, built by developers. Makers submit dev tools, each week's launches are voted on by signed-in developers (GitHub or Google login), and the top tools become weekly winners. It is an open-source alternative to Product Hunt focused only on developer tools.
- Free listing: every tool gets a permanent page at /tool/{slug} (nofollow link).
- Launch ($19, one time): pick the launch week, a spot in the weekly newsletter and a permanent dofollow link. Boosted launch ($49): listed above other launches on equal votes, plus its own post on X.
- Sponsor ads: home page and weekly newsletter placements (see /advertise).
- Source code: https://github.com/MarsX-dev/devhunt
- Founder: John Rush (https://johnrush.me, https://x.com/johnrush)
