I built an Alternative to Product Hunt focusing on Marketing

Hi guys,

I shipped a product launch platform 8 months ago and it's now becoming quite popular on social media. Time to share it with the Dev To community!

The platform is designed as an alternative to Product Hunt focusing on Marketing. It help developers, product makers & startups with the first steps of their marketing.

They can:

  • rank their products over a month.
  • collect early-stage feedback.
  • get reviews for your product (testimonials)
  • get exposure, eyes on their sites, incoming traffic.
  • ideally get first sales.
  • distribute in the long-term: the platform creates SEO-optimized pages for their products.
  • get backlinks.

Here's our home page: Microlaunch

Most of the launches are free. I also managed to monetize it through sponsorships and pro launches for a small fee (around 30 of them each month ask for extra exposure).

My goal now is to add cool features such as product battles, product deals, AI, create a little community. Foremost: helping builders & makers get more sales and make it!

Feel free to share your feedback, thoughts. Would love to see more of us launch and start bootstrapping our own startups.
