Founder Feed
Self-promotion welcome. Share your product, post updates, and connect with other founders.
Why use an agentic product development tool like LaunchChair to build MVP’s versus just vibe coding with an agent? https://www.launchchair.io/compare/launchchair-vs-vibe-coding
Added a job board to help those in need. It's small apples compared to the giants, but I think adding it in helps users understand the flow of how WorkWomp can help better. gimme some feedback, if you dare https://workwomp.com/jobs
What’s up everyone! I’m so stoked to have a product so I can finally participate in the founders feed 🤣 IYKYK. But seriously, super happy to be here with everyone 🎉
The fact that a staff member asked who let me in is going to need some investigation from HR (also me)
I'm pretty sure I lost all 5 of my IQ points over night. I cannot figure out how to post a product update...
We’re going to make the design more obvious next week, but if you go to post an update here in this feed you’ll see a little checkbox that says “product update” click that.
see I told you i lost my IQs overnight. it's been lurking there this whole time.. Thanks Jacob!
No worries big dawg! Happy you found it! If you’re using it to raise your DR start creating internal pages that explain your product on your site.
yeah I need to go down the blog rabbit hole. I'm about done signing up on those dan launch sites. they're just getting more frustrating every time
Even if you don’t have a blog, use the update feature to say what you’ve changed or talk about a feature then add your link. But it’s crucial to add a link if you want the public backlink to your site.
Any founders here who wish they read more? I've started writing a blog as someone who used to struggle with reading but is now obsessed with helping people actually finish books and rebuild a sustainable habit https://readinghabit.site/blog
Awesome dude! Best way to get your DR up as long as the articles aren't generated slop. Do you write them explicitly for certain search results and keywords?
Thanks man! Started posting an article a day in late April (except Sundays) and adjusted now to three times a week. Couldn't get anything done anymore besides writing, lol. Trying to nail intent & keywords, still learning 😊
Post them individually as Product Updates, it will only help your DR. BACKLINKS BABY!
It’s your Launch my dude! And this feed belongs to the users. Post away. I’d just follow a cadence as Google hates when you amass a ton of backlinks quickly.

Hey guys! We just released founders feed V2, this update should make it a lot easier to use the feed, you can now actually reply to replies. We condensed the launch post spam, and we fixed a few things. Let me know what you think!
Loving it!! Btw, is there a way to change my profile avatar? It's defaulting to my other project's (trial) launch when I write replies and in the leaderboard on the right 😅
You want to change your avatar for your Launch? Go to the settings. We don't do personal avatars as the focus is on your launch so your avatar will always be your product logo even in the Founder Feed.
If you have multiple launches you can switch which launch you're posting from in the top right or by clicking the avatar in the feed composer at the bottom. We'll also be adding a default so you can select which Launch is your default.
Yeah I think the default might be the solution I'm looking for here, thanks! I wish I could change the avatar per comment/reply as well though, that would be extra awesome!!
We wanted to avoid storing a ton of avatars, but maybe we should consider a founder avatar.
Maybe I missed it, but can you explain the rankings - how do the different stats apply to the rankings: votes, dwell time, completion, momentum. I've noticed I have insanely high dwell time compared to some others. but is that good?
Dwell time is the average of how long people are sitting on your site within the Hop discovery feed, so I guess some people were on for incredibly long 🤣
I'm going to take that as a sign of profound respect for what I'm doing, and that my website is amazeballs.
Just got approved on buildhop! Have a nice weekend everyone!!
Im not sure how to reply to Jacob but we did launch less than a month ago :) Still trying out things
For the few people leaving themselves up-vote feedback on their own product, only you see this feedback… Fake votes are automatically removed, quit cheating!
Know exactly what you're signing with Clausify https://clausify.site
Can I get some clarification on the thumbs up/down on he directory list. is that supposed to be you like/dislike the site or you applied/not ?
Anything you want really! was the site easy to submit to, did you get some traffic? Was the submission process terrible, was there a crazy wait until your product is live? Use these vote buttons to help inform other founders.
gotcha. are y'all considering feedback so founders can say why they up/down voted? I have some negative reviews about a couple of the sites, but for very specific reasons, so it would be nice to provide that to other founders.
To anyone else that is having issues unlocking leads: I use SSR on my site and it renders a blank page (no js hydration occurs during scanning) to some site scanners - including some SEO scanning
I had to update the landing page to provide content during SSR, and use JS only for interactive portions of the page. This apparently happens for some scanners when they are not using a headless browser.
We have some changes coming to the scanner that should resolve this. Were you able to get it to work after making changes on your end?
Indeed I did good sir. Having SSR make sure to render the badge (and other elements) fixed it.
Pumped to start submitting to this final list of sites you guys are putting together!

Love seeing this! What a great start to a little social media corner! 🤝
BuildHop just gets better and better! Great work team 👏
We appreciate you! Feel free to use this feed for self promotion, leaving us feature ideas and feedback, or use it to promote your other launch listings. Every user can view this board, but only approved launches can post to it. 🤝
Remember, feedback is always anonymous for launches! If you're logged in the founder either sees a "BuildHop User" or a "Anonymous Hopper" tag on their feedback. So don't be shy about helping other launches out with feedback!
Damn we’re making twitter for founders?
Haha, not trying to recreate twitter here, if anything this is to better promote our twitter accounts! You can share tweets here, updates on your launch, or if you need an up-vote on another launch directory post it here! Distribution!
We're excited to hear that! It's pretty awesome so far! this feed will improve over time and the goal of this feed is to give everyone another exposure channel. If you have any feedback or a feature idea for BuildHop leave it here!
Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
You can post tweets here and they'll display. You can also post links to other launch sites your product is on if you need some support from the builders here! https://x.com/JacobCounsell/status/2055054022243999866?s=20
