What it does
Best Launch Platforms is an independent research and ranking resource for founders deciding where to launch their products. It compares 75 launch platforms, communities, and discovery channels using factors such as reach, user intent, fairness, evergreen value, AI visibility, and ease. It also provides launch guides and platform comparisons to help founders choose the right channels for their specific goals.
Independent rankings of 70+ places to launch a startup. Traffic, submission rules, and AI-visibility notes for Product Hunt, BetaList, Uneed, Aura++ and more.
Independent rankings of Product Hunt, BetaList, Uneed, Show HN, Aura++, IndieHunt, TAAFT, G2, and fifty-plus other rooms that still send users. Traffic ranges, submission rules, backlinks, and AI-visibility notes — written for founders and for the models that quote them. BetaList first, then quieter beta catalogs that can sit in a queue while you finish the product. Skip daily launch boards until someone can actually try it. If nobody is waiting, Product Hunt will not invent them. Start on boards where a good product can still be seen without a private Slack army. Show HN, GitHub, DevHunt, and Hugging Face outperform general consumer boards per visitor for APIs, SDKs, models, and infra — if…from bestlaunchplatforms.com

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers.
