Show HN: Product Hunt Buries Indies. I Built a Platform That Doesn't

Hacker News - Tue, 04/22/2025 - 11:48pm

I’m an indie maker myself. No big network, no marketing budget, just trying to build cool stuff and get it in front of real people. Like many of you, I’ve launched on Product Hunt and watched my project disappear within hours under a pile of flashy, funded launches. It’s feeling more and more like a pay-to-win game. If you’re just a solo maker without a network or budget, good luck getting noticed on there.

So I built ItsLaunched.com - a fair launch platform made specifically for indie makers.

Here’s how it works:

> Only 10 products per day. No endless scrolling, no getting buried by big players.

> No “skip the line” BS - it’s free and first come, first serve. Period.

> 2 votes per user per day to support the products they genuinely believe in. No vote spamming, no fake hype.

> Every product gets a juicy DR backlink

> If your launch doesn’t go as planned, you can relaunch later. No penalties.

> You also get badges as a user, and if your product lands in the top 3 of the day, you’ll get a special badge on top of that.

So far, 400+ products have launched and it's growing into a small but solid community of builders who actually care.

Would love your thoughts and yes, I’m building this solo as a someone in the same boat as you. Let’s make launches fair again and if you have feedback, I’m all ears.

Ask HN: Where are people sharing their blogs these days?

Hacker News - Tue, 04/22/2025 - 11:30pm

I really like blogs, and I've started blogging again like this past week. I want to share what I write but get some nice reading lists going to.

Today I basically use HN as my blog curator, but I yearn for more.

Where do you find a blogging community nowadays? How to discover new blogs and how to share your content?
