I built a dozen apps this year. I launched zero. Here's the tool I made to fix that.

I vibe-coded a lot of apps this year. Between Claude Code, Cursor, and whatever agent was fastest that week, shipping the actual product got easy. Almost too easy.

None of them made money. Not because the ideas were bad, but because I never launched them anywhere. I'd deploy, drop a link in one place, and move on to the next app. No Product Hunt, no Hacker News, no directories. Zero traction because zero people ever saw them.

When I looked into why, the problem wasn't motivation. It's that there are over 80 places to launch an app, and each one wants something different: a 60-character tagline here, a 1200x630 image there, its own submission form, its own unwritten rules about tone and timing. Doing that right for even five platforms eats a full day I kept skipping.

So I built vibelaunched. Paste your app's URL, and it checks your live page, matches you against real requirements across 80+ platforms, and generates ready-to-paste prompts for copy, graphics, and video, each one sized to that platform's exact specs. Run the prompts through whatever AI agent you already use, and it writes the actual assets. Then vibelaunched auto-detects where you've actually launched, so you can see what's covered and what's still open.

I'm using it to work through my own backlog of unlaunched apps right now, starting with this one.

If you've got apps sitting in a repo that never made it past your own laptop, I'd like to know why. What stopped you from launching them?

    The gap between building apps and actually getting them in front of people is very clear here. Curious what usually happens at the point where you decide an app is “done” but still don’t launch it.

      Is that a question? I mean, the whole point of my building this is, like everyone on the internet with a claude subscription, i have built so many tools - opensource, saas, mobile apps, you name it. but none launched. no real traffic or revenue.

      and if you see great apps (granola, chatgpt, linear etc etc) all of them keep launching. in multiple spots across the internet. thats one way they put it in front of a large audience at a time and test their idea / feature. and this doesnt change for your or my idea too.

        Yeah, that makes sense. I’d be interested in continuing this conversation — if you’re open to it, feel free to share your email.
