T-minus launch: your countdown sequence

Five steps from submission to lift-off, then manage your orbit from mission control.

Updated

Prepare for launch sequence

Head to /submit and enter your website address. Our AI scans your public pages and generates a draft profile—name, tagline, description, features, category, FAQs, socials—pulling every detail from quotes it finds on your site. Anything unverified lands in the "not found on your site" zone; you'll fill those gaps yourself.

Review and edit each field before anything goes live. Nothing launches while your profile is incomplete.

Choose your launch window

Select either a free listing (where available) or a paid launch at $5, with optional add-ons available. No account needed upfront—checkout creates it from your email.

Then orbit over to /account/founder and complete your founder profile: photo, name, role, country, short bio, plus at least one personal link. A free listing waits until this profile is finished. Paid launches are not held for it: they go live at once or in the chosen week, and you can complete the profile afterwards.

Go live

Paid launches ignite immediately or on your chosen launch week (Mondays, UTC). Free listings enter the queue once we spot our badge on your website, and go live about 6-8 weeks ahead. A free listing also needs its owner's founder profile to be complete before it goes live.

Command your orbit

After lift-off, control everything from /account/listings: edits transmit instantly, relaunch on new weeks, stack fresh categories, track votes and badge status. Check the launch calendar at /launches to see all active weeks.

Questions people ask

What happens if my profile is incomplete?
A free listing waits until your founder profile at /account/founder is complete—photo, name, role, country, short bio and at least one personal link required.
When does my free listing go live?
Free listings join the queue once we detect our badge on your website, and go live roughly 6-8 weeks ahead. The founder profile has to be complete as well: a free listing waits for both.
Can I change my launch week later?
Before it is live, yes: use 'Move the launch week' at /account/listings. Once live it cannot be moved; a relaunch puts it in a later week again.
