What you actually get
A page in a community for people showing off what they have built, with the tag list running to hackathon and tooling names like convex, OpenAI, Firecrawl and codex rather than to market categories. The form is one of the most generous in this queue: no account, markdown with fenced code blocks in the description, a screenshot plus four more images, and video, GitHub, LinkedIn and X links. Link value is unverified.

How to submit to Vibe Apps

  1. Open the form
    https://vibeapps.dev/submit renders and fills with no account at all.
  2. Write the long description
    The placeholder asks for the problem, how it works, notable features, why you built it, the tech stack, challenges and any metrics. Markdown and fenced code blocks are supported.
  3. Add the media
    A screenshot, up to four more images, and a video demo they describe as recommended.
  4. Tag it
    Tags are searchable and you can create a new one from the same control.

Gotchas

The description placeholder asks for seven specific things including challenges and metrics, so a pack's standard blurb reads as thin against what the form expects.
The tag control lets you create new tags, so it is easy to invent one nobody browses instead of joining an existing shelf.
The shelf is organised around hackathons and build tooling, so a polished commercial product sits oddly among work-in-progress projects.
