What is LaunchAF?
LaunchAF is a weekly product launch platform designed for indie makers, SaaS founders, and startup teams. It provides a stage to showcase new products, gather community feedback, and earn a permanent dofollow backlink from a DR 25 site — a valuable SEO boost for any new project.
Key Features
- Weekly Launch Cycles: Products are submitted and ranked within a weekly cohort (e.g., Week 38, 2026). Voting closes at a set time, and results freeze to determine the final leaderboard.
- Permanent Dofollow Backlink: Every launched product receives a permanent dofollow backlink from LaunchAF (Domain Rating 25), improving search engine visibility and domain authority.
- Community Leaderboard: Products are ranked by upvotes from the community. Top performers earn podium spots (🥇🥈🥉) and increased exposure.
- New Arrivals Carousel: Freshly launched products are highlighted in a rotating carousel, giving them immediate visibility.
- Categories & Discovery: Browse products by categories such as Productivity, AI, Marketing, Analytics, and more. Each product page includes a description, logo, screenshot, and comment section.
- Founder Tools & Streaks: Additional tools for founders, including a dashboard, streak tracking, and rewards for consistent participation.
- Sponsorship & Advertising: Sidebar sponsor slots allow brands to promote their products directly to founders and early adopters.
Use Cases
- Indie Makers & Solo Founders: Launch a new SaaS, tool, or app to an engaged audience of builders and early adopters.
- Startup Teams: Generate buzz, collect feedback, and build backlinks for SEO during a product launch.
- SEO & Growth Marketers: Leverage the dofollow backlink to improve search rankings and domain authority.
- Community Members: Discover new tools, upvote favorites, and engage with founders through comments.
How It Works
- Submit Your Product: Create a listing with a name, tagline, logo, screenshot, and category.
- Get Ranked: The community upvotes products throughout the week. The leaderboard updates in real-time.
- Earn Rewards: Top-ranked products gain visibility, and every participant receives a permanent dofollow backlink.
- Engage: Respond to comments, gather feedback, and iterate on your product.
