For Programmers: Publish What You Built, Free
You wrote the thing. Now people need to find it. rankraw is a free board for developer tools, side projects, and open source — ranked by real interest, not by ad spend.
// always free
Free to submit. Free to browse. Free forever — no card, no trial, no catch.
Built for people who ship code
- Free listing for tools, CLIs, APIs, and open-source projects.
- A repo link and a screenshot are enough to start.
- Ranking rewards steady releases, so maintainers stay visible.
- No editorial gatekeeping and no pay-to-rank.
Write a listing developers will click
- Say what it does in plain words, not buzzwords.
- Name the problem it removes in the first sentence.
- Show a real screenshot or terminal output.
- Link the repo and the docs, not a waitlist form.
Keep it alive after launch
Every changelog you post gives your project another shot at the front page. A small fix shipped this week beats a big rewrite you never announce.
FAQ
- Can I post an open-source project?
- Yes. Open-source tools, CLIs, libraries with a demo, and self-hosted apps are all welcome.
- Do I need a landing page first?
- No. A repo link, a clear one-liner, and a screenshot are enough to get listed and ranked.
- Is it free for developers?
- Yes — free to post and free forever. Paid tiers only add optional extras like a live sandbox embed.
