I’ve been working on LaunchOrbit, a different kind of product discovery platform.

Instead of displaying launches as another endless list or feed, LaunchOrbit places products on a shared, interactive canvas. Founders can add their product, upload their website logo or create a custom art tile, and link directly to their site.

Visitors can:

• Explore the launch board
• Discover new products and SaaS tools
• Search by category
• Upvote launches
• Open dedicated product pages
• See which products are gaining community attention

The idea is to make product discovery more visual, memorable, and persistent, so a launch doesn’t disappear after a single post or launch day.

Premium Launch is a one-time upgrade for founders who want their product to stand out on LaunchOrbit.

It includes:

• A bigger product tile
• Verified launch badge
• Dedicated public product page
• Dofollow backlink to your website
• Enhanced SEO metadata

It’s designed for founders who want a more credible, lasting presence for their product beyond launch day

Use code: giveaway to get a free premium launch

It's still early, and I would really appreciate honest feedback:

Drop your product below 👇 I want to see what you’re building

I’m curious what everyone here is working on.

Drop your product or SaaS below and explain what it does in 1–2 lines. No hard pitching just share what you’re building and who it helps.

I’ll start: I built LaunchOrbit, an interactive launch board where founders can showcase their products on a shared, living pixel canvas.

It’s designed to make product discovery more visual, memorable, and fun than another scrolling directory.

Herkese merhaba,

Gelistirdiginiz uygulamalari ve websitelerini yayinlayip daha fazla kullaniciya ulastirabileceginiz bir websitesi yayinladim. launchorbit.co

Mantigi cok basit: Kendi sitenizin logosunu veya özel tasarımınızı tuvaldeki bir alana yerleştirebiliyorsunuz. Burda en cok upvote alan urun ortada siralanir diğerleri etrafında spiral şeklinde sıralanıyor. Haftalik ya da category basina degisip farkli gorebilirsiniz. Kendinize ait bir ürün sayfanız olur. Bu sayfada ürününüzü tanıtabilirsiniz.

Amacım, klasik “ürünümü tanıtayım” sayfalarından biraz daha eğlenceli ve kolektif bir keşif alanı oluşturmak.

Şu an özellikle geri bildirim toplamaya çalışıyorum:

• Fikir sizce ilgi çekici mi?
• Böyle bir yerde projenizi sergilemek ister miydiniz?
• Kullanım deneyiminde kafa karıştıran bir nokta var mı?

Eleştiri ve önerilerinizi bekliyorum. Reklam/öz tanıtım kurallarına uygunsa paylaşabilirsiniz; değilse kaldırabilirim.

Urunuzu paylasirsaniz cok sevinirim: https://launchorbit.co

Hey everyone,

I built https://launchorbit.co, a public launch board where products, startups and tools are placed on a shared interactive canvas.

The idea is simple: every product gets a tile in the orbit. The closer a tile is to the center, the more visible it is. You can explore launches, search by category, upvote products, view weekly rankings, and visit each product’s dedicated page.

If you’re launching something:

• A basic 5×5 tile is free
• Add your logo, description, website, and social links
• Buy a larger tile if you want more space
• Orbit Pro adds analytics and promotional tools
• Get a do-follow product page backlink
• Advanced SEO metadata

I wanted to create something more visual and community-driven than a traditional launch directory, part product discovery board, part public snapshot of what people are building.

Would love to hear what you think, especially:

• Does the orbit concept make sense?
• What would make you want to browse or upvote launches?
• What information do you look for when discovering a new product?

I made it a month ago because I've always loved the story of the Million Dollar Homepage as the creator made the website to pay for his tuition fees, so I got inspired by him and made this to pay for mine I was in a desperate situation with debts and now I'm seeing all the other websites with similar approach printing money.

How it works: you buy a rectangle of pixels and fill it with pixel art, text, or an image. The twist is you don't pick where it goes. The highest-paying tile sits at the dead centre of the canvas, and everyone else spirals outward by how much they paid. So your position isn't permanent if someone outbids you, the whole canvas re-sorts and your tile physically slides outward. Amounts are hidden on the canvas itself, so you can only guess who paid what from where they sit. There's a top 10 leaderboard that does show the numbers.

Browsing is free, you can pan and zoom the whole thing without an account: thepixelorbit.com

Herkese selamlar,

Kız arkadaşım bir süredir Kindle kullanıyor ve pdf'den epub'a kitap çeviriyordu. Çevirdiği kitaplar hep okunamaz ve bozuk çıktığı için benden onun için bir uygulama yapmamı istemişti.

Websitesini yaptım, kız arkadaşım çok beğenince bunu yabancı subredditlerde paylaştım. Annas_Archive paylaşımım. Şu an text içeren PDF'ler ücretsiz, ama scan olup text içermeyenler ücretli. Scan olan PDF'leri çevirmekte çok başarılı; tüm yazıları olduğu gibi çeviriyor ve özellikle akademik PDF'ler için çok fazla yorum almıştım. PDF içindeki formül/kod/resim gibi şeyler de güzel bir şekilde çevriliyor. Aynı zamanda pdf içindeki watermark/reklamlar da silinip temiz bir kitaba çevriliyor. 1 haftada yüzlerce mutlu kullanıcım oldu, ancak Türk kullanıcıların benzer ücretleri vereceğini düşünmüyorum. Bunu sadece kısa bir bilgi verme amacıyla yazdım.

Burda asıl paylaşmak istediğim web sitelerini EPUB'a çeviren ücretsiz Chrome eklentim.

İnternette makale,blog, araştırmalar okuyorum ve bunları telefonumda okumak çok zor geliyordu ve gözlerim de yoruluyordu. Apple Books'ta ya da Kindle'da bunları okumak çok güzel olurdu, o yüzden web sitesini bitirdikten sonra bu eklentiyle uğraştım. Artık şimdi offline bir şekilde istediğim siteleri boş vaktimde Kindle'da okuyabiliyorum.

Deneyip yorum yaparsaniz cok sevinirim.

İstediğiniz siteyi ekleyebilirsiniz, her siteyi sırasıyla bir chapter olarak ayarlayabilirsiniz.

Hey people,

If anyone saw my other post about converting scanned PDFs to EPUB, welcome back. I implemented a lot of features based on the feedback I got from the users, so check it out if you want. Anyways,

After building that, my friends said to me that they read a lot of stuff online[articles, newsletters, blogs] and bookmark them. They wanted a tool to read them offline, just the way they read their book, with a clean structure.

So I built a Chrome extension.

https://www.convert2epub.com/extension/

FEATURES

• Add the current page from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu
• Keep a running reading list; pages stay queued until you're ready to save
• Drag to reorder chapters before you export
• Give the book a custom title, or let it use the first page's title
• Cover image and in-article images are pulled in automatically
• Everything runs locally in your browser, no account, no external server
• Works great with long-form articles, blog posts, and documentation pages

HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse to a page you want to save and click "Add this page"
2. Repeat for every page you want in the book
3. Click "Save as EPUB"; your browser downloads a ready-to-read .epub file

Please try and tell me if you like it.

My girlfriend started reading on her kindle for the past year and kept converting PDFs and getting books she couldn't read properly. I am a software developer so she always told me to make her a better conversion tool. For the past month, I dug into why other tools failed, researched how ePub works and other tools like Calibre, and tested a lot of PDFs.

So I built convert2epub.com. It’s free, and no account is needed. My girlfriend keeps saying this is worth something and is better than other tools online, so I want your opinion on this.

Scanned books often already contain their text, and most converters throw it away.

A lot of scanned PDFs have already been through OCR by whoever made them. That recognised text is stored invisibly, layered on top of the page images. The problem is that Calibre's PDF engines ignore invisible text. So you hand it a book that genuinely has 400,000 characters of perfectly good text in it, and it gives you back a file full of page photographs and reports success.

I tested this with a 286-page novel. The PDF had 426,904 characters of clean text inside it. Other converters ignored those characters, and the converted EPUB contained 637. It was a 20MB book of pictures.

That same book now comes out at 1.4MB with real, resizable text.

Removing watermarks and repeated title/footer.

Every page of a book repeats its title, author and page number in the margin. On paper you never notice. Extract the text and those become ordinary lines, so your reader flows them straight into the prose. Same for watermarks and adverts stamped onto free PDFs. On that same book it was 778 stray lines across four repeating patterns. I add a feature to remove them.

Page by page conversion.

Each page is judged separately; if the page has clear text, it is used, if the page does not have a text but an image of a text it will scan it to retrieve the text. If failed again an image of the page will be used so nothing will be lost. So one bad page will not cost you scanning the other hundreds of pages.

OCR available for scans with no text at all, in eight languages. But usually you won’t need it if the code can retrieve the text.

I hope this tool helps you, and I am waiting for your feedback about whether it worked for you the way you wanted to and would you pay for something like this.
