Launch post writer

The same launch, told four ways. Answer five questions and get a draft for each place you post — counted against the limit that platform actually enforces.

Tag it first with the UTM builder and you’ll know which post sent the traffic.

Enter a product name and a one-line pitch to draft your posts.

About the launch post writer

Answer five questions about your product and get ready-to-paste launch posts for Product Hunt, Hacker News, an X thread and Reddit. Each draft is written to the conventions of its platform, with live counts against the limits that platform enforces.

How to use it

  1. Fill in product name and one-line pitch; those two are required.
  2. Add the problem it solves, who it is for, and your link for fuller drafts.
  3. Switch between the Product Hunt, Hacker News, X thread and Reddit tabs.
  4. Check the counters, then copy each post and edit it in your own voice before posting.

Questions

How do I write a Show HN post?
Title it Show HN: followed by the name and a plain description, keep the title within Hacker News' 80-character limit, and use the body to explain what you built and ask for honest feedback.
What should a Product Hunt maker comment say?
Who you are, the problem that started it, what the product does today, and an open invitation for feedback. There is no hard limit, but a few short paragraphs reads as considered.
How long can each tweet in a thread be?
280 characters per post for standard accounts. The X tab numbers each post and counts it separately.
Can I post my launch on Reddit?
Check the subreddit's self-promotion rules first. Many allow it only in a dedicated thread or require a history of other participation, and breaking the rules can get you banned.
