Guidelines
The short rulebook that keeps every edition trustworthy.
Launching
- Each weekly edition (Monday–Sunday, UTC) has 10 launch slots. Editions are numbered from Week 1 (October 5, 2026) and the count never resets. Pick any week with a free slot; full weeks cannot be selected.
- Launch a real, working product you are involved in making. Re-launches need a meaningful new version.
- Your product goes live when its week begins and stays on LaunchStall permanently.
Voting and ranking
- One upvote per person per product, enforced on our servers. Makers cannot upvote their own launch.
- Weekly rankings are by upvotes only. Paid plans get priority placement in the default feed, clearly marked “Verified” — they never change a product’s rank number.
- Asking for upvotes is fine; buying them, trading them or using multiple accounts gets products removed.
Comments
- Be specific and kind. Feedback, questions and experience reports are all welcome.
- Makers are labelled “Maker” in their own launch discussions.
Free listings and the badge
- Free launches ask you to show the LaunchStall badge on your homepage. While it is live, your product page links to you with a followed link.
- If the badge goes missing, your listing stays up; after a short grace period the link becomes nofollow until the badge is back.
Sponsored content
- Ads are always labelled “Sponsored” or “Promoted” and never mixed into organic rankings.
- We accept ads for Premium products or free listings with a verified badge.
