Launch guidelines
Five rules keep the shelf worth browsing. We look over launches as they come in and take down the ones that don't fit.
1You made it
Submit things you built or helped build. Fan submissions of someone else's product are declined, but tell the maker about us.
2People can try it today
A live site, a download, or a public beta. Waitlists and landing pages for ideas belong somewhere else for now.
3Say what it does
Taglines describe the product, not the vibe. “Turns wireframes into React components” beats “The future of design.”
4One launch per product
Each product takes one slot on your plan. Relaunch when something meaningful changes: a new platform, a rebuilt core, a big price drop. Small updates go in your comments.
5Vote honestly
No vote rings, swaps or paid upvotes. We watch for patterns and quietly reset launches that game the board.
How launching works
There's no weekly cap and no waiting list. On the free plan you get two product slots: submit, put our badge on your homepage, press Check, and your launch goes live 24 hours later. That day is when we look it over. Paid plans get more slots, skip the badge and launch on the day and time they pick.
Every live launch goes into New. The ones people vote for climb into Featured today and the leaderboards; after that they live in Recently launched and their category for good. Keep the badge up: we check it every few days, and a launch without it drops out of Featured.
