BoardHygiene: launch-board gatekeeper

Automated compliance checks so launch boards stop drowning in stalled drafts

Problem

Builders of launch boards and directories see decent signups but very few actual launches: users get stuck on prerequisites like 'add our badge first', leaving mostly drafts after weeks. Board owners can't distinguish 'intent but blocked' from 'abandoned', and can't auto-nudge completion.

Solution

Built-in automated compliance checks: periodically scan submitted sites for the badge/backlink, verify links resolve, mark each as passed/pending/broken, and send one clear follow-up instruction. The dashboard separates draft, blocked, and live states.

Users

Indie devs and small teams running launch boards, leaderboards or directories

MVP

Add pending site URLs; scheduled badge/backlink detection; three-state dashboard; follow-up email reminders; launch-rate report export

Revenue

Subscription for board owners, tiered by project count ($19–49/mo); free up to 20 projects

Why now

Indie launch boards are proliferating but operators have forms, not QA; the crawl-and-check logic is simple enough for a solo dev to ship in a week.
