I built URise - a launchpad where upvotes matter more than ad spend

Hey everyone,

I got tired of watching great products die in silence.

Launch on Product Hunt? Pay-to-play. Twitter? Buried by an algorithm. LinkedIn? Ignored.

So I built URise.

How it works:

  1. Submit your product
  2. Add a badge to your site
  3. Go live instantly
  4. Community upvotes decide what rises

What makes it different:

  • No manual review queues
  • No "pay for better placement"
  • Karma rewards quality engagement
  • Free tier - one launch, forever free

The stack: Next.js 15, Typescript, TailwindCSS, Supabase, Upstash Redis, Resend

Current status: Pre-launch, 95% complete. Looking for early testers to break things before public launch.

Would love feedback on:

  • The landing page
  • The verification flow
  • Anything that looks janky

Check it out: URise.dev

Roast away. I can take it. 🙏
