the operator · launches & content

Launch when the venue says.Post in your own voice.

Product Hunt, Hacker News and the directories: assets drafted, a date proposed by the venue's own rules, a day-of checklist, results on the record. Three posts a week on the live angle, and two disclosed replies on the threads the answers cite — all yours to post.

How launches and content work.

01

Launch Run

Tagline, description and the maker's first comment for Product Hunt; a Show HN title and text for Hacker News; the directories already in your work order. Every asset to the claims standard.

Product Hunt on a Tuesday to Thursday at 00:01 Pacific; Hacker News on a weekday morning. You post from your account — the venues require it — and tell us 'launched producthunt <url>'.

02

The ladder

Directories first, then Product Hunt, then Hacker News. A weak result moves the next venue up and changes the angle; a strong one repeats the shape.

Results come from you — no venue offers a public API we license, and we never scrape a number we can't verify.

03

Voice Stream

Three short posts a week on the live angle from the market signal — the week's change, the top objection, the buyers' own words — in your voice, to the claims standard.

Yours to post or not. No disclosure line: it's your account and your voice.

04

Community presence

The Reddit, Hacker News and forum threads the answers cite. At most two replies a week, drafted for your account, each disclosed, each answering the thread before mentioning you.

Never sent by us. Never at volume.

05

Citation-first pages

For the question that gained answers this week: the answer first, one number, the sources, the date.

06

Changelog syndication

One release note a fortnight, to your changelog page and your own feed. Never a feature list.

Beyond the launches & content.The whole operator.

Trackers surface the gap and stop. This is one loop — find, produce, place, verify — with the memo on Monday and one decision at a time.

Questions, answered plainly.

No. Launches, posts and community replies go out from your accounts. We draft, schedule, and track what lands.

Check your product first.It's free, and it's the whole pitch.

Sixty seconds. Four engines. Who they name instead of you, and the work order to change it.
