Where to list your open source project
A repo alone doesn't get found — here's where OSS projects get discovered, starting with the listing that keeps working.
The short answer
List your open source project on OnlyFoundrs for a permanent, search-indexed page with a dofollow link — then layer discovery channels: an 'I built X because Y' Show HN post, relevant awesome-list PRs, Lobsters, and r/coolgithubprojects. The permanent listing matters most because every other channel is a spike that fades.
Free forever. Live in minutes — no queue, no review.

what a directory listing gives instead
Great repos die undiscovered every day
The OSS distribution problem: GitHub doesn't surface projects, awesome lists take months of PR limbo, and the channels that do work — Show HN, Reddit, Lobsters — are one-day events. Most maintainers ship the repo, post once to silence, and conclude nobody wants it. The truth is nobody saw it. Discovery is the missing piece between a good repo and users.
A permanent page that sells the repo
An OnlyFoundrs listing gives your project an indexed home: description, problem it solves, and a dofollow link to the repo — ranked by community votes and surfaced by semantic matching when someone describes the exact problem your project fixes. It's the always-on layer underneath the launch spikes.
Permanent + indexed
Your project page keeps ranking for 'tool for X' searches long after launch posts fade.
Dofollow link to the repo
Free listings include a real link — domain authority that compounds into your own SEO.
Matched to problem-searches
Devs describe the pain — 'diff JSON configs in CI' — and semantic matching surfaces your project.
Devs are the audience
The marketplace's heaviest browsers are developers and founders — the exact people who star, try, and contribute.

FAQ
Where should I list my open source project?
Start with a permanent listing on OnlyFoundrs (free, indexed, dofollow link). Then run the spike channels: Show HN, relevant awesome lists via PR, Lobsters, and r/coolgithubprojects.
How do open source projects get discovered?
Three ways: search (your README + indexed listing pages), community posts (HN/Reddit spikes), and word of mouth from early users. The listing anchors the first — everything else compounds on top.
Does a directory listing help a GitHub repo?
Two ways: it sends direct clicks from people browsing tools, and the dofollow link builds the repo page's search authority over time.
What does listing an open source project cost here?
free — instant live listing, permanent page, dofollow link. The free listing is the full product.
