Behance
High-authority design gallery. Right for visual products, studios, and case studies. Wrong as a general SaaS hunt.
Behance is where design work is discovered, hired from, and sometimes featured. A case-study project with real screens beats a ‘we launched’ post. Adobe’s network still gives the domain real crawl weight.

Post the interface. Do not post a “we launched” text shot. Recruiters and designers browse; hunters do not live here.
Dribbble is a design-shot community. A launch works when the product is the picture: a new editor, a plugin, a gorgeous dashboard. A paragraph on a beige card is not a shot.
