The blank box at 11pm on launch day

Launch Posts

You know where to post and how to tag each link. The part that actually stops people is describing your own app without sounding like a press release — five times over, for five venues that punish the same wording differently.

Why one post is not five posts

The same paragraph is a fine tweet, an ad on Reddit, a rejected Show HN and a wasted maker comment. X wants one line. Reddit wants a person, plainly saying what the thing is and what it costs. A Show HN title literally has to start with “Show HN:”, and Hacker News moderates against titles written to stand out. Product Hunt wants the origin story the listing has no room for.

Pick your app above. Your listing and a few rough notes about why you built it are the only things any of these drafts are allowed to state as fact.
