Hello,
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
Those are some great insights, really appreciate it, so yes, i will go ahead and implement your idea for a simple API, probably will ship it in the next 2 days, will msg back in here.
Gonna also look at the memory and CPU consumptions bits more closely and try to optimize to the max.
Regarding the sounds, so there is a range that you can use really, you are in control, you can even override the sounds files and add your own! also i will be adding even more sounds (in total gonna target around 50-100 sounds).
You can also configure the text that's displayed this is already impelmented.
This is no different than how founders would post on reddit and X and more about their launch to seek support, but i've done it in a streamlined way via a network of founders who are also launching with you. Think of it this way: you open ProductHunt on a normal day, you browse through the day's launches, you see a product you like, what do you do? you upvote and perhaps leave a comment.. LaunchPact is the same, but with 2 added concepts: reciprocity and accountability, you support them, they support you, if geniuine interest is there, and you verify your support and build a trust that correlates to it, so others know if you're a trustworthy supporter or not. Simple as that.
LaunchPact matches you with founders launching near your date. Form mutual pacts, show up for each other on launch day, and climb the Product Hunt rankings together.
Hi i'm from the team, thanks for the feedback.
Yes so we built a trust score system to cater for this case specifically, basically if one party breaks the pact we penalize their trust score, and as you browse launches you clearly see everyone's scores so you can make an informed decision about it.
Note that we also do verification for upvotes on the day, no verification will also penalize the user, a verification is a screenshot that we verify using an LLM.
