DevHunt
Open-source launch board. Voting requires GitHub, which kills fake rings. If you do not build for developers, skip it.
DevHunt exists because developers got tired of tourist traffic on general boards. Listings are for APIs, SDKs, infra, and open source. GitHub login is required to vote, which is both a spam filter and a culture gate.

Daily competition with a listing that persists. Smaller than Product Hunt, much better odds of being seen, plus a newsletter on top of the page.
Uneed has become the default Product Hunt alternative for indie products by fixing the thing founders resent: a 24-hour window that discards you if you miss the homepage. You still get a launch day, but the listing stays, and weekly and monthly rankings keep sending residual visits.
