How to use this tracker

The rows are the directory. Search by name. Category is the category stored on the record. Free or paid uses the same listing-cost buckets as that directory: a free listing and a free queue stay under Free, and listing-cost text that includes paid, an application, a fee, or a jury is Paid. The listing sentence and the paid-options sentence on the card are the stored fields. Read them, then confirm the live form, because a queue or a price can move after the record was written.

Set each row to to do, submitted, live, or skipped. The submitted date is the day you sent it, if you want that recorded. The note is yours: a queue name, the link you used, or the reason you skipped the row. The counter covers the whole directory. A filter only hides rows. It does not change the count.

Export CSV or copy Markdown when you want a copy that can leave this browser. Both include every platform, including rows the current filter is hiding. Reset clears statuses, notes, and dates saved for this site in this browser, and it asks first. Another device will not see this tracker. Nothing on this page is uploaded, and nothing is submitted for you.

Open the directory page for the write-up already on this site, and open the platform site to submit. If you want the month laid out before you start checking boxes, use the launch plan generator. Places that still take a free submission are discussed in the free launch platforms guide. Rankings are the scored index when you want a comparison instead of a checklist.
