TinyLaunchpad is a weekly launch platform where creators ship small side projects, gain early users, and grow through community upvotes and category visibility.
What is TinyLaunchpad?
TinyLaunchpad is a web platform that hosts weekly launches of tiny side projects. Creators submit their products using a dedicated form (linked via the [+ New Launch] button), and each Monday at 8:00 AM UTC a new batch of projects goes live. Visitors can browse launches by category, upvote favorites, and discover new tools from a community of over 1,500 makers.
Key Features
- Weekly Launch Cycle — Projects go live every Monday at 8:00 AM UTC, with a live countdown showing the time until the next batch.
- Category Browsing — Each project is tagged with one or more categories (e.g., AI, Productivity, HealthTech), allowing visitors to filter by interest.
- Upvote System — Community members upvote projects; the top-voted projects are highlighted in the "Last Week's Winners" section with gold, silver, and bronze medals.
- Builder Community — Over 1,500 makers have joined, providing an audience for early user feedback and growth.
- Project Submission — Any creator can submit their side project via a + New Launch form to be featured in an upcoming weekly batch.
- Trending This Week — The "This Week's Launches" section displays current projects with titles, taglines, logos, preview images, and upvote counts.
Who is it for?
- Indie makers and solo developers — Launch a small side project, get early visibility, and collect feedback from a community of builders.
- Early-stage startup founders — Test an MVP in front of an audience interested in new tools without heavy marketing spend.
- Product hunters and early adopters — Discover fresh tools across categories like AI, Productivity, HealthTech, and more before they hit larger platforms.
What can you do with TinyLaunchpad?
- Launch a side project: Submit your project via the + New Launch form, choose relevant categories, and appear in the weekly batch to gain initial traction.
- Browse and upvote: Explore the latest launches each week, read taglines and preview images, and upvote projects that interest you.
- Track performance: See upvote counts and potentially appear in the "Last Week's Winners" section if your project gets enough support.
How does it work?
Creators submit their project details through the online submission form. Projects are then scheduled for the next Monday 8:00 AM UTC launch. Once live, anyone can browse and upvote. At the end of the week, the top three upvoted projects become "Winners" highlighted on the homepage.
