Aura++
A daily Hunt-network launch with SEO pages and optional dofollow.
Aura++ is a daily product launch board with votes, comments, badges, and a permanent project page. Premium tiers add an explicit dofollow backlink (the domain is commonly cited around DR 70), an AI launch story, Launch Kit graphics, and extra placement. Free launches exist; they are not the same SEO outcome as Premium.
It is the daily launch board in the Hunt network, a family of specialized rooms that also includes IndieHunt, MakerHunt, SideHunt, EarlyHunt, and Uno Directory. A Premium Launcher license can submit across them, which is handy if you are listing on more than one surface over a launch month.
Use Aura++ when you want a crawlable launch record and a backlink you can inspect. Stay in the comments on launch day. Pair it with one weekly Hunt board if the niche fits — you rarely need every Hunt surface in the same week.
Scheduled daily board
Should you launch on Aura++?
Yes — this is a fairer daily board than Product Hunt if you have no private hunter list.
Aura++ is an actual launch surface: a date, a ranking or homepage slot, and comments. Cost: Free tier. Premium ~$29 and Premium Plus ~$69 per launch; Premium Launcher subscription for bulk.
Do not expect Product Hunt volume. Do expect a lasting page and a room small enough that silence is obvious. Stay in the comments for the whole cycle.
Aura++ is part of the Hunt network — specialized rooms for daily launches (Aura++), weekly niches (IndieHunt, MakerHunt, SideHunt, EarlyHunt), and a lasting catalog (Uno Directory). Match cadence and niche; one daily and one weekly Hunt board in the same month is usually enough.
When: Week 2 as a warm-up, or as the only board if you are skipping Product Hunt. Not the same morning as Show HN.

How to submit
01
Pick a launch day that you can actually staff
Submit once. If you also want a weekly Hunt board, schedule IndieHunt or SideHunt for a different week so you can stay in both comment threads.
02
Ship a tryable URL
The project page is public and indexed. A coming-soon screenshot wastes the backlink.
03
Decide on Premium only for the link
Pay if you want the guaranteed dofollow and launch story. Do not pay because the badge looks like Product Hunt.
Tips
- Inspect the live backlink with a crawler after launch. If it is nofollow, you did not buy what you thought.
- Reply to every comment; Hunt-network boards are small enough that silence is obvious.
- Pair with AlternativeTo or SaaSHub if AI citations are the actual goal.
- Aura++ is editorial here like every other row — the publisher operates it and it is not boosted.
