Requirements

Account required: 'A maker creates or signs into a Shipyard HQ account' then submits via the member product submission flow
Product types accepted: apps, SaaS tools, APIs, AI products, developer tools, startup projects
Optional paid visibility plans exist (featured/sponsored/priority/spotlight/analytics placement) but a base listing is part of the standard flow

Account on shipyardhq.dev
Name, tagline, description, logo, website URL
Category, use cases, keywords/tags, supported platforms, product type, pricing model, starting price
The site exposes markdown twins and an API catalog (.well-known/api-catalog) — agents can use structured endpoints

Create/sign into a Shipyard HQ account
Submit the product through the member submission flow
Fill listing metadata: name, tagline, description, logo, URL, category, use cases, platforms, product type, pricing model
After publication the product gets a canonical /products/<slug> page and appears in /browse, /categories, /tags, /platforms, /pricing, /product-types, /use-cases surfaces
Optionally buy a visibility plan for featured/sponsored/spotlight placement

Unusually agent-friendly: site publishes llms.txt, sitemap, API catalog and markdown content negotiation (Accept: text/markdown or /index.md paths)
Paid 'verification'/promotion signals exist — an unverified free listing may rank lower on leaderboards
Votes/visits/analytics drive leaderboard position — a bare listing may get little surface exposure
Site is new/low-DR — treat the listing as a minor citation

A public product page at shipyardhq.dev/products/<slug> appearing in /browse and category listings
