Shipstry is a weekly product registry where makers submit their creations to earn a real dofollow backlink (DR 44 verified by Ahrefs) and gain visibility among a community of builders and discoverers.
What is Shipstry?
Shipstry is a curated weekly registry of maker-built products. Makers submit their product with a logo, tagline, category, and external link, then get listed during a designated ship week. The platform tracks products shipped (374) and makers joined (603), and awards Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners weekly and monthly based on upvotes. It is built in public by @Puinoib.
