How to launch a product

All topics

Launch

Updated 6 September 2026

Listing a product is free. A valid submit publishes immediately — there is no review queue. You can launch from the site or from an agent.

From the site

  1. Open /submit while signed in.
  2. Paste the website URL. Autofill can pull the name, tagline, logo, hero, screenshots, and a demo when the page exposes them.
  3. Add or replace media with an upload if the fetch missed something.
  4. Pick this Monday or a later open week if this one is full.
  5. Launch. The product page is live at /products/{slug}.

From an agent

Create a private ys_agent_* key in Settings → Agent key. Then POST /v1/launches with Authorization: Bearer that key. A valid payload publishes as you. Treat the key like a password; creating another key replaces the last one. Details: Agents, CLI, and API.

What goes on the listing

  • Name, tagline, description, website
  • Logo, hero, screenshots, optional video or demo URL
  • A markdown twin agents can cite
  • Votes, comments, replies, and a Visit action that records a click
  • Comments and Updates tabs, plus a rail for week rank, views, voters, and saves

After you launch, open Launch desk for that product. Every listing gets a homepage feature booking, dark/light embed badge, share card, thank-you image, and launch-week stats. Those numbers come from the same votes, comments, views, clicks, and saves the public page records.

Slots and Mondays: Launch weeks and slots. Ranking: Votes, visits, and ranking.
