01What it is and who is there
Peerlist is a professional network for people in tech, mostly developers and designers. Its Launchpad lets members launch projects in a weekly window, where other members can view, comment and upvote. Because the window runs for a week, a launch gets more than one day of attention.
02Cost and what you actually pay for
Launching is free for members, in the pages checked for this entry. Peerlist may offer paid profile features. Check current terms before you rely on any paid option.
03Is it right for you?
It fits developer tools, design tools, AI products and SaaS aimed at tech workers. It fits poorly for consumer products for non-technical buyers. You need a Peerlist profile, and the network rewards a complete one.
04Before you start
- Create a Peerlist profile and complete it with your work history and projects.
- Check the current Launchpad rules, including when the weekly window opens and any profile verification needed.
- Prepare a project page: name, tagline, screenshots, link and a short story.
- Line up a few people who will try the product and leave real comments.
05Step-by-step: how to distribute here
- Complete your profile before launch week.
- Create the project and schedule it for the next launch window.
- When the window opens, post an update on your profile about the launch.
- Reply to every comment through the week, not only on day one.
- Share the project link on X and LinkedIn. Invite feedback rather than votes.
- After the week, post a short summary of what you learned.
06What to post or submit
Tagline:
[Product] — [what it does] for [developers/designers/teams].Launch update:
This week I'm launching [product] on Peerlist. It [does one job]. Built with [stack]. I'd value feedback on [one thing]: [link]07Common mistakes and do-nots
- Do not launch from an empty profile. People check who built the project.
- Do not ask for upvotes directly. Ask for feedback.
- Do not stop replying after the first day. The window lasts all week.
- Do not use multiple accounts to boost the project.
08How to measure it
- Track visits from peerlist.io with a UTM link.
- Count comments with real questions or feature requests.
- Track profile follows during the week, which help your next launch.
- A realistic test: one launch week. Judge it by sign-ups from tech users and new contacts.
09Time budget
- Before: 2 to 3 hours for the profile and project page.
- During: 20 to 30 minutes a day across the launch week.
- After: 1 hour for a summary post.
10Pair it with
- Dev Hunt — another developer launch board.
- Product Hunt — a larger launch audience.
- LinkedIn — share the launch with your work network.
- Build in public on X — post progress during launch week.
