Launch Federation is a weekly launch directory where SaaS founders and indie makers post a new product into a numbered week, then browse and comment on that week's entries. A submission runs through the site's New Launch form and produces a listing page carrying a logo, a one-line pitch, tags, a Visit site link, and a comments thread.
What is Launch Federation?
Launch Federation is a browser-based weekly directory for launching SaaS and indie products, organized into numbered weeks rather than one endless feed. Submitters enter a product name, logo, and pitch through the New Launch form (submit.html); the output is a public listing page (listing.html?id=...) with tags, a Visit site button, and a comments count. Entries are ranked inside each week, and the site is published by Launch Federation itself, with a companion blog and advertising pages.
What makes Launch Federation stand out?
- Week-scoped launch cycles — navigation pages through Week 41 to Week 45, so each batch of launches is reviewed inside a single numbered week instead of scrolling a permanent stream.
- Listing pages with comments — every product gets its own URL showing logo, tagline, category-style label, tag chips, a Visit site link, and a comments thread.
- Community tagging — listings display tags such as internet experiments, indie, social, viral, fun, and webmaker, plus labels like "Business intelligence".
- "Last week's best" recap — a dedicated block resurfacing the previous week's top entries; it currently reads "No data yet."
- Ten free claim slots per week — numbered 1 to 10 and marked "Claim Now for Free", each linking to the submit form pre-filled with that week (for example
week=2026-10-12). - Ad placements — a "Your spot here / From $15/mo" slot and an advertise page; a live example ad is Rocketito, promoted as "Get Clients From Google and ChatGPT on Autopilot".
- Google sign-in — signing in with Google creates the account automatically, and a workspace area holds My products, Badge & verification, and Admin pages.
- Badge and verification page — a separate page for issuing badges tied to listed products.
Who should use Launch Federation?
- SaaS founders: publish a new product into the current week's queue, claim one of the ten free numbered slots, and collect early comments on the listing page.
- Indie makers shipping small experiments: list a side project such as a browser toy or utility, tag it with internet experiments or webmaker, and see how it ranks against the week's other entries.
- Growth and marketing people: book the paid "Your spot here" ad slot starting at 15 dollars per month to reach founders browsing the weekly directory.
- Directory browsers: page back through weeks 41 to 45 and use the "Last week's best" recap to find what ranked highest.
What can you do with Launch Federation?
- Founders with a fresh launch: submit through the New Launch form, get a listing page with a Visit site link, and gather feedback in the comments thread rather than building a landing page first.
- Indie experimenters: post small web toys and label them with tags like fun, viral, or social so they surface in tag-based discovery.
- Advertisers: reserve the single promoted slot shown at "From $15/mo" and have the ad rendered next to the weekly ranked list, as Rocketito does.
- Listed products: pick up a verification badge from the Badge & verification page and manage the entry from My products.
How does Launch Federation work?
Sign in with Google, which creates the account automatically if you are not registered. Open New Launch, submit the product details, and the entry appears as a listing page inside the current numbered week with a comments thread. Each week shows ten numbered slots marked "Claim Now for Free"; a slot can be claimed with the week pre-filled, and the week's top performers feed the "Last week's best" recap block.
Pricing
Submitting and claiming one of the ten numbered weekly slots is free. Advertising on the directory is paid, with the promoted slot advertised from 15 dollars per month.
