ShinyLaunch
ShinyLaunch is a curated product launch platform where makers release new products weekly and the community discovers, votes, and explores them.

- Weekly product launches: Organized weekly launch windows with countdowns and voting to surface top products.
- Curated product listings: Each product entry includes title, short description, category tags, pricing model, launch date and voting controls.

- External discovery links: Product detail pages link to canonical product pages for traffic and conversions.
Technical highlights:
- Server-rendered HTML with Open Graph and Twitter card metadata for social sharing.
