What Launch It does

Plan a developer-focused launch for Show HN, Reddit, or Product Hunt that earns goodwill. Avoid common mistakes like hype titles and astroturfing with proven frameworks.

Launch It is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Launch It comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai, ai-founders, claude and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Launch it

Developer communities reward the honest, technical, slightly humble builder and punish the marketer instantly. A Show HN is not an announcement. It's "I built this thing, here's how it works and what's still rough."

Use this when: you're scared to launch, you're hoping to "go viral," or you're about to drop marketing copy into a room that eats marketing copy for breakfast.

The core idea

The bar is usefulness + honesty, not polish. Developers will test your claims and read your code. Show up as a real engineer sharing real work, be present to answer everything, and never, ever fake it. One genuine launch beats ten hype posts.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Beyond the Wrapper

Learn to position an AI product to overcome the "just a wrapper" objection. Focus on real differentiators like data, workflow, and trust, and craft messaging that puts the problem first, not the AI.

DevTool Homepage

Structure a dev-tool homepage that converts developers into champions. Use when the landing page speaks to buyers, reads as salesy, buries the product, or lacks a clear start.

First 50 Users

Helps founders find the first 50 real users by going where their ICP already discovers tools. Use it after launch when posting more, community-building, or ads are not producing users.

Founder-Led Content

Build authority by teaching the problem space, not announcing features. Use when the founder finds 'marketing' distasteful and does none, publishes only product updates, or wants a sustainable content and GitHub-README strategy that developers actually respect.

Know If It's Working
