Route unverified other
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- No public submission form exists — sites get featured by editorial selection in the newsletter
- The realistic free path is pitching the founder (Jaisal Rathee) a genuinely novel/useful website
- A 'Sponsor Us' slot exists for paid placement
Prepare before opening the form
- A website that is actually 'insanely useful' — featured picks skew toward quirky free tools, directories, and clever utilities
- A one-paragraph pitch in the newsletter's breezy editorial voice
- Founder contact via newsletter reply or socials (no public pitch form found)
Workflow
- Review the archive to confirm your site fits the featured-site style
- Pitch the founder directly (reply to a newsletter issue or reach Jaisal Rathee via socials)
- Alternatively enquire about the Sponsor Us placement for a guaranteed slot
Watch for
- Editorial pitch, not a form — low conversion odds; don't mass-submit
- Newsletter cadence may be dormant — newest featured issue numbers should be checked for recency
- No public rate card found for sponsorship
What counts as live
The site is written up in a numbered Insanely Useful Websites issue and listed on the homepage featured grid with a Visit Site link
Not verified
- Whether the newsletter is still actively publishing
- Sponsorship pricing
- Best current pitch channel (email vs social)
