Peerlist Launchpad
Weekly launches tied to a professional maker profile.
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.
Two design choices matter. The week-long window reduces the 6am Pacific scramble. And because the launch is attached to your profile, credibility compounds across launches instead of resetting every Tuesday.
The audience is tech professionals — strongest for developer tools, design tools, and career-adjacent products. It is a weak room for consumer gimmicks and a strong room if your own craft is part of the pitch.
Scheduled weekly cycle
Should you launch on Peerlist Launchpad?
Yes — this is a fairer weekly cycle than Product Hunt if you have no private hunter list.
Peerlist Launchpad is an actual launch surface: a date, a ranking or homepage slot, and comments. Cost: Free. None required for a standard launch.
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
- Founders whose credibility is part of the sale
- Dev tools, design tools, and professional software
- People who want a week to collect votes instead of 24 hours
Skip if
- Anonymous launches with no public maker identity
- Consumer products with no professional angle
- Teams that need a mass consumer audience

How to submit
01
Complete the Peerlist profile first
Projects, work history, and a photo. Empty profiles launch at a discount.
02
Pick a week you can be present
You have seven days, not one, but silence still kills momentum.
03
Submit one project
The rule is one project per week. Choose the one you can demo.
04
Join other launches
Peerlist is a network. Commenting on other Launchpad projects is how you get seen as a member rather than a tourist.
Tips
- Use Peerlist in the warm-up week before Product Hunt.
- Lead with what you shipped and who it is for, not a vision statement.
- The profile is the moat — keep it current even when you are not launching.
- Dev tools convert especially well here relative to general boards.
