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:
- Submit your product
- Add a badge to your site
- Go live instantly
- 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

Roast away. I can take it. 🙏
