Submitting to directories suck and it's a full-time effort 🥲
I recently built a bunch of mini products and from experience I know that submitting to directories improve backlinks, visibility etc. Though some of them are paid, it's so painful to create accounts in each and every one of them for each one of my products (mostly vibe coded).
But, with that said, I also understand the importance of it. Every good product I have worked with (I have 12 years of experience working with various startups), keep launching and keep adding to all the directories. One or some of them click and it works well.
Today, with all the AI, automations around, I just started using claude code + my browser to let it do these by itself. Not sure how efficient this will be. But I'm open to ideas from others in the subreddit on this. Especially launching consistently, submitting to directories etc.
