01What it is and who is there

Uneed is a daily launch board with a lasting directory of tools. Makers launch on a chosen day, visitors vote, and each product keeps a page after launch day. The audience is indie makers and early adopters looking for new tools. It is smaller than Product Hunt, which makes it easier to be noticed.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

A free launch is available. Uneed also sells paid options, such as skipping the queue or featured spots. Check the current pricing page, since options change. The free route may mean a later launch date.

03Is it right for you?

It fits small SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and consumer apps that want a lasting listing and a modest launch day. It fits poorly as your only launch, and for products that need a large crowd on one day. It works well as one of several launches in the same week.

04Before you start

  • A working product with a clear landing page.
  • A logo, a tagline, three to five screenshots and a short description.
  • A first comment that explains why you built it.
  • Read Uneed's current launch rules and voting rules.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Create the listing and pick a launch date. Check how far out the free queue is.
  2. Prepare the page and screenshots in advance.
  3. On launch day, post your first comment and answer every reply.
  4. Share the listing in your own channels. Invite people to look and comment, not to vote.
  5. After launch, add the Uneed link to your site's "as seen on" area if the rules allow a badge.
  6. Keep the listing current when you ship major updates.

06What to post or submit

Tagline:

[Product]: [job it does] for [who].

First comment:

Hi Uneed, I'm [name]. I built [product] because [specific reason]. It does [one job] today. I'd love feedback on [one question].

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not ask people to vote for you. Ask for feedback instead.
  • Do not run vote swaps or use extra accounts. That breaks the rules of most launch boards.
  • Do not launch with broken screenshots or links.
  • Do not leave comments unanswered on launch day.

08How to measure it

  • Track visits from uneed.best with a UTM link.
  • Track sign-ups from those visits in the first week.
  • Watch whether the lasting page keeps sending a trickle of visits over the next months.
  • A realistic test: compare sign-ups per visit with your other launch boards.

09Time budget

  • Before: 2 to 4 hours for the listing.
  • During: 1 to 2 hours on launch day.
  • After: under 1 hour a month to keep the page current.
