You add your project to your verified Peerlist profile, fill it in to 100% complete, then click Launch on peerlist.io/launchpad on a Monday or schedule it for the next week. Launching is free, though you need a verified profile (workplace verification is free, ID verification has a small fee). The launch window is Monday 12:00 am to 11:59 pm UTC and each launch runs for the week.

How to list on Peerlist Launchpad, step by step
Verify your profile
Open Verification in your settings and choose workplace (free) or identity (one-time fee). ID checks that need extra review are answered within 24 hours, per Peerlist.
Add the project
Go to the Work tab on your profile and click New project, or open the Add Project form directly. Fill in every field until the project shows 100% complete.
Launch on Monday
On Monday, visit peerlist.io/launchpad, click Launch in the header, pick your project from the dropdown and click Launch Project. It goes live immediately.
Or schedule it
If you miss Monday, open your project, click Launch and choose Schedule Launch for the next week number. If the project is not 100% complete when Monday arrives, the launch fails.
Engage during the week
Answer comments, share the link on your own channels and ask for feedback. Projects are shown in random order on Monday and Tuesday, then ranked by traction.
Follow up after the week
Top 3 projects get a badge and a spot in Peerlist's newsletter and social channels. The top 5 get a backlink.
What the Peerlist Launchpad form asks for
| Field | Limit | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Project name | – | Use the product's real name only. |
| Tagline | – | One plain line on what it does; it is what voters see in the list. |
| Project URL | – | Link a working demo or landing page; it counts toward completeness. |
| Cover images | up to 4 | Lead with the image that shows the product in use. |
| Video URL | – | A short walkthrough helps voters who will not sign up. |
| Tools and tech stack | – | Peerlist's audience is developers and designers, so list the real stack. |
| Project category | – | Pick the category your audience browses. |
| Open source | – | Tick Yes if the code is public; it adds credibility with developers. |
| Project description | – | Peerlist calls it highly recommended; more detail also helps search discovery. |
Why submissions get rejected
- Launching from a company or non-personal profile
- Being reported by multiple users for spam
- DMing people you do not know asking for upvotes, oversharing the launch link on Scroll, or asking for upvotes in other people's comments
- Products that are unsafe for users' privacy or security
- Copies or plagiarized products, or products you do not own
- Adding collaborators who have nothing to do with the product
- NSFW, vulgar, betting or gambling products
- SEO marketing agencies launching for clients (immediate suspension)
Tips that make a difference
- Upvotes and feedback from verified profiles carry more weight, and only qualitative comments count toward ranking.
- The first two days are shuffled, so the real race starts Wednesday; save some of your promotion for mid-week.
- Ranking blends upvotes, comments, views, link visits and overall traction, so getting people to click through matters.
- Schedule your launch a week early so a busy Monday does not make you miss the window.
- Multiple rule violations lead to profile suspension, which also hurts your Peerlist job and networking presence.
