Launch Channel Intel Board

A searchable launch-channel intel hub for indie developers, from Product Hunt to HN and Reddit

Problem

Multiple indie developers say building products with AI is no longer the hard part; promotion, SEO, backlinks, and product demos are. They do not know where to launch, when to launch, or in what format, and they want continuously consultable channel intel instead of scattered anecdotal posts.

Solution

A continuously updated launch channel intel board: it catalogues rules, best times, required assets, moderation preferences, and success cases for channels like Product Hunt, HN, Reddit, and V2EX, filterable by product type and budget. Users can subscribe to updates and submit their own launch retro.

Users

Indie developers, small-team founders, and first-time makers who just shipped a product with AI

MVP

Structured info on 30-50 common launch channels (type, rules, asset requirements, best time); filter by product type and budget; weekly update newsletter; user-submitted launch retros with voting

Revenue

Free base intel plus paid subscription for the full channel library, templates, and launch calendar; paid placement for channels

Why now

AI has slashed product-building barriers, making distribution the biggest bottleneck, and demand for channel intel is spiking; this is an information product that requires no deep tech, and an indie dev can build a moat through consistent curation.
