Launch Almanac

Hey everyone - Marius here. I compiled and verified this database to launch my own products, then realized the database itself was the most useful thing I had built. I fetched every launch directory I could find - 91 of them. Seven of the most-recommended ones are dead or have silently moved, and most lists circulating today still link to them. So the core of the product is just: every channel, checked by hand, with a date on the verification. This Fazier launch is itself row Fazier in my own tracking sheet. Honest feedback welcome - especially: what would make you trust a verified claim from a stranger on the internet?

A consolidated launch directory with 84 verified channels is exactly what indie founders need — the research phase before a launch is genuinely painful. Would love to know how recently the list was audited; some directories go quiet or change submission requirements frequently. Also curious if there's filtering by category or audience type.

Thanks for developing something like this, Im on my own journey of sharing my web app and I found a tool like this really useful.

The verified-date detail is the trust signal that stands out here. For founders planning a launch, knowing each channel was checked recently is more useful than another long generic list. It would be great to add a filter for audience fit, e.g. SaaS, education, AI tools, or career products.

EUR 24 one-time with no upsells is refreshing in a space full of $99 "ultimate directory" PDFs that were last updated two years ago. Flagging the 7 dead directories instead of just removing them is a nice touch too, it shows the verification actually happened. Bookmarking this for our next launch.

So instead of "we will submit you everywhere, even if some directories won't bring much" it's a "you do it yourself, but you get a list directories and utilities to do it efficiently"? Actually I like the idea. Of course all this information can be researched individually, as I've decided to do, but it indeed takes a lot of time.

Cool! always usefull these kinds of lists

Thanks! It is worth to look at!

Thanks - glad it resonates. On audit recency: every channel was checked by hand on June 10, 2026, and that date is stamped on the product and on each row, so you always see how fresh it is; I'm re-verifying monthly and dating each pass. On filtering: the sheet tags every channel by category (directory / community / newsletter / review site / AI-GEO), cost and audience, so you can sort or filter by those in your own copy. A dedicated audience-type filter is a great idea - noting it for the next update.

Really useful resource for founders planning a launch. Having verified, up-to-date directories in one place saves hours of research. The submission templates are a great touch too.

Thanks for the kind words, all - genuinely appreciated. @soundbound to your point about directories going quiet or changing their submission rules: that's exactly the failure mode this is built to catch. Each row records when it was last checked by hand (June 10), I note the current submission method and requirements per channel, and I re-verify monthly - so when a directory dies or moves its form, the row reflects it instead of silently rotting like most lists. The 7 dead ones I flagged rather than deleted are the proof that pass actually ran. @Jordan @Raibek @Welsenes thanks for the support - and if any channel looks off when you use it, tell me and I'll fix the row.

This service is looking interesting. I will give it a try.

Interesting, I'll look into it.

Interesting, I'll look into it.

A curated list of platforms for launch is exactly what i needed right now, will give it a try

This is a genuinely good product

Thanks so much for all the feedback here, genuinely helpful. A few replies: @Przemek you've got it exactly - it's not "we'll submit you everywhere", it's "here's every channel that's actually alive, with the cost, audience and requirements plus paste-ready templates", so doing it yourself takes hours instead of weeks. @Trajekt Team the audience-fit filter (SaaS / education / AI tools / career) is now top of my list - the sheet already tags category + audience per row, so it's the natural next step. @Team CtrlOps flagging the 7 dead directories instead of quietly deleting them is exactly meant to prove the verification happened - glad that landed. @David good luck with your own launch, and if any channel in the list has changed since June 10 just tell me and I'll fix the row. Thanks again everyone.
