LaunchOrPay

In plain words

LaunchOrPay is a productivity tool that helps creators follow through on product launches by adding financial accountability. Users set a launch deadline and specify a charitable donation amount, which they must pay if they miss their target date. The platform ensures commitment by automatically processing the payment at midnight on the deadline date if the product hasn't launched. All profits from the service go to charity, making missed deadlines benefit a good cause rather than the company.

  Hey! I've recently launched Waitlister, an app for creating product launch waitlist in minutes (or seconds if you wish to). Why you should build a waitlist before you launch your product? Because, - it'll help you validate your idea before spending too much time on building, - get first users that will potentially convert/sign up as soon as you launch, - and you can generate more buzz for your launch than you could without one. How does Waitlister help you with this? With it, you can: - create a hosted landing page, - create an embeddable waitlist form, - send automatic welcome emails,…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
