Console

Console (console.dev) picks tools worth an engineer’s time. Getting in is editorial, not a form you can brute-force. Huge intent, tiny volume.

Console is a curated developer-tool newsletter and site. They review what they recommend. You can suggest a tool; you cannot buy the front page as a launch package in the Product Hunt sense.

Peerlist Launchpad

A week-long cycle on a network of developers and designers. Your work history launches with you, and timezone luck matters less than on daily boards.

Peerlist is a professional network for people who build. Launchpad is its launch surface: projects go live into a weekly cycle, the community votes through the week, and winners are named at the end. One project per week, and you need a Peerlist profile.
