Steps:
1. Check the criteria: own custom domain, permanent free plan (not a trial), useful to startups, and a track record.
2. Fork the repo and add one tool in the best-fitting category using "name - URL".
3. Leave out tracking parameters and referral links.
4. Open one pull request per tool and wait for review.
Watch out for:
- New or recently launched tools are generally turned down.
- Links to GitHub repos or platform subdomains such as netlify.app are not accepted.
- A paid Sponsored featured-listing route exists but is separate from the PR list.
Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
