A public launch
Launch platforms
Launch boards give a new product a dated moment in front of people who enjoy trying new things. Most run on a daily or weekly cycle, rank by community votes and sell ways to skip a free queue.
How to use launch platforms
- Pick one or two boards whose recent launches look like your product, rather than submitting to all of them.
- Read the queue and pricing page first: free slots can be weeks or months away, and some free tiers ask for a badge on your site.
- Be available on launch day to answer comments. The conversation matters more than the ranking.
