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 need the LaunchStall badge on your homepage. Your listing goes live only once the badge is verified, and while it stays verified your product page links to you with a followed link.
- We check every free listing daily at 00:01 UTC. If the badge has been removed, the listing (and its backlink) is taken off LaunchStall until you add the badge back and verify it again — this applies even after your launch week.
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.
