First Launch

What it does

First Launch is a curated discovery platform for new SaaS — where indie founders launch fresh tools with standout offers (extended trials, deep discounts, lifetime deals), and early adopters find them first. Every pick is vetted, traffic goes straight to the founder's own page, and we never take a commission. To add to that, our secret sauce is our newsletter, with a lot of effort put into the curation to ensure that every reader is getting the content and promotions most relevant to them.

Discover brand-new SaaS the week it ships - with launch promotions you won't find anywhere else, ever again.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
