Nick Launches

Nick Launches runs on a weekly cycle: you submit a product, pick a launch week, and go live alongside that week's batch, ranked by community votes as the week runs. A busy week sees close to a hundred launches across forty or so categories, from AI and developer tools through marketing and design.

The draw for a maker is the audience plus the link. Every approved product gets an indexed page with a followed link back to its site, and the link stays after launch week ends. A free launch waits for an open slot and keeps its listing while the Nick Launches badge stays on your homepage. Paid one-time plans skip the queue and add promotion, such as a mention in the newsletter. There is also a documented API with MCP support, so a launch can be filed and tracked from your own tooling.

Launching is free if you display their badge and are willing to wait for an open week. Paid plans are one-time, per launch, and buy an earlier slot plus extras such as a newsletter mention. A separate hand-done directory submission service is sold alongside, at a higher one-time price.

Indie makers and small teams shipping something new who want launch week attention and a link that keeps working afterwards. The audience is other builders, so consumer products aimed outside that crowd will find fewer of their buyers here.
