Resource FYI
Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Submission is free but requires signing in with a Google or GitHub social account — there is no email-signup or anonymous path
- Listings go through an approval step ('Recently submitted & approved' phrasing on the latest feed)
Requirements
- Google or GitHub account for social login (anti-spam gate; site pledges not to post to your profile)
- Product must fit one of the site's categories (AI, developer tools, design tools, no-code, productivity, marketing, web dev, etc.)
- Editorial approval before the listing appears publicly
Prepare before opening the form
- A Google or GitHub account you're willing to OAuth
- Product name, URL, description, thumbnail/screenshot
- The best-fit category from their list
Workflow
- Open https://resource.fyi/account/submit
- Sign in with Google or GitHub
- Fill the submit form (resource name, URL, description, category, thumbnail)
- Wait for approval — approved items appear in the 'Latest Resources' feed and their category page
Watch for
- Social-login gate is mandatory — an OAuth consent screen will appear; use an account appropriate for a public maker profile
- Ads are present on pages; don't confuse ad slots for site content
- The batch's 'nofollow' link hint is plausible but unverified — check the live listing's rel attribute if link type matters
- Free-tier visibility is a standard listing; 'Featured' slots on the homepage are likely promotional
What counts as live
The resource appears publicly in 'Latest Resources' or its category page on resource.fyi with a 'Visit Site' link
Not verified
- Approval turnaround time and rejection criteria
- Whether listing links are dofollow or nofollow
- Cost/requirements of 'Featured' placement
