Wall of Tools is a product launch directory where builders submit a tool one time and it stays listed on the wall permanently, organized by category and marked as new when it first appears. The site is built and operated by the independent builder Jeroen van Welsenes, who is credited on the page as the launcher.
What is Wall of Tools?
Wall of Tools is a web-based directory for newly launched software tools. Builders submit a launch through the site's "Submit launch" action, and the tool is then displayed on the wall with its name, a short tagline, a favicon pulled from the tool's domain, and a direct outbound link. The directory is maintained by builder Jeroen van Welsenes and runs entirely in the browser.
Key Features
- Permanent listing — the site's core promise is "Launch once. Stay on the wall forever," so a submitted tool is not removed after a launch window.
- Submit launch flow — a dedicated submission entry point lets builders add their product to the wall.
- Category browsing — a "Latest tools" feed with an "All categories" filter organizes listings for visitors.
- New badges — recently added tools are flagged with a "New" label, as shown on the EasyLaunch and LaunchPanda entries.
- Automatic favicon fetch — each listing pulls the tool's favicon from its domain via the site's favicon API endpoint.
- Outbound view links — every card includes a "View" link that sends visitors straight to the listed tool's own site.
- Builder attribution — listings credit the person who launched them, such as "Launched by 1builder."
Who is it for?
- Indie builders and solo founders: submit a newly shipped tool to get a durable directory listing and an outbound link.
- Launch-watchers and early adopters: browse the latest tools feed to find products like EasyLaunch and LaunchPanda as they appear.
- Directory operators and marketers: study how a permanent-placement launch wall is structured and categorized.
What can you do with Wall of Tools?
- Submit a product launch: a builder adds their tool once and it remains visible on the wall instead of expiring after a launch day.
- Discover new tools: visitors scan the Latest tools section and filter by category to find recent launches.
- Click through to a product: each listing's View link takes a visitor directly to the tool's own website, such as easylaunch.dev or launchpanda.dev.
How does Wall of Tools work?
A builder submits a launch through the site's Submit launch button. The tool then appears in the Latest tools feed with a New badge, its favicon, a one-line tagline, and a link to its domain, and it stays on the wall rather than rotating out.
