GitHub Showcase serves open-source and downloadable software — best when you have repos, releases, or a dev-tool story. (free to submit, hard approval bar)
Low priority best for Launch & referral traffic
Developers & open-source users
Pure SaaS web apps without OSS angle may feel out of place
Open github.com in a new tab.
Look for “Submit”, “Add Product”, “List your startup”, or similar in the nav or footer.
Product name, tagline, description, URL, logo, and screenshots — match what they ask for.
Choose Open Source (or the closest fit) so you reach the right audience.
Free listings are often reviewed manually — expect a few days to several weeks.
Topical relevance matters: Open Source directories tend to help most when your product fits that category. Nofollow links still drive referral traffic and brand visibility.
