MicroLaunch

A month-long launch for products that need feedback more than a spike.

Launch boardsMonth-longFounded 2023Reviewed September 2026

MicroLaunch stretches the window on purpose. Products compete across a month rather than a day, which changes who wins: a tool that steadily collects users and comments can beat a louder first morning. Submission has a free tier. The domain is often cited around DR 59 with a dofollow link.

Expect a drip of high-intent visitors and unusually detailed feedback, not a hockey-stick chart. That is the correct use. If you need a badge-for-the-homepage moment, a daily board will feel more dramatic. If you need thirty honest conversations, this is the better mechanic.

Use MicroLaunch while the product is still changing. The month-long loop is wasted on a frozen marketing site.

Scheduled month-long

Should you launch on MicroLaunch?

Yes — this is a fairer month-long than Product Hunt if you have no private hunter list.

MicroLaunch is an actual launch surface: a date, a ranking or homepage slot, and comments. Cost: Free tier. Paid upgrades for extra visibility may be available.

Do not expect Product Hunt volume. Do expect a lasting page and a room small enough that silence is obvious. Stay in the comments for the whole cycle.

When: Week 2 as a warm-up, or as the only board if you are skipping Product Hunt. Not the same morning as Show HN.

Launch here if

  • MVPs that will change during the month
  • Founders who want comments more than a rank screenshot
  • Slow-burn launches alongside daily boards

Skip if

  • Products that only look good on a single launch day
  • Teams that cannot follow up with testers for four weeks
  • Anyone optimizing only for a press spike

This page answers MicroLaunch only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

How to submit

  1. 01

    Submit while the product is usable

    People will try it for weeks. Broken onboarding wastes the format.

  2. 02

    Ask for a specific kind of feedback

    “Tell me where you got stuck” outperforms “please support us.”

  3. 03

    Ship during the month

    Update the listing when you fix the things testers hit. The format rewards iteration.
