I built a launch board where votes beat budgets

Small products get buried on most launch platforms. Whoever has the biggest audience or ad budget ends up on top. So I built Stackboo, a weekly launch board for SaaS and AI products where votes decide the ranking, not budgets.

What it is

• Founders list a SaaS or AI product
• The community votes
• The board resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC, so every product gets a fresh shot
• Every submission is human-reviewed
• Sponsored spots exist, but they're clearly labelled
• Listing is free

You can see it at stackboo.com.

The stack

• Next.js on Cloudflare Workers (using the OpenNext adapter)
• Neon Postgres
• Drizzle as the ORM
• Minilytics for analytics
• Resend

I picked this stack because Workers gives fast responses worldwide and a free tier that suits a side project, while Neon scales to zero when nobody is using it.

Things I found tricky

• Weekly resets: a Monday 00:00 UTC reset needs a scheduled job and careful handling of time zones. Everything is stored in UTC and only converted on display.
• Reviewing submissions: I check each product by hand: does the site load, does it match its description, is it a real SaaS or AI product, is there a refund policy if it takes payments?
• Backlink verification: I'm working on checking that listed products link back properly.

What's next

I'm still improving the board and the review flow. If you've launched on other platforms, I'd love to hear what you wish they did differently.

If you're building a SaaS or AI product, you're welcome to list it on Stackboo. What would make a launch board worth your time?
