Every launch guide I read says "post on these 20 sites" and stops. None of them tell you whether the sites still answer. So I made a list of 78, sorted it by purpose, and checked the links before I shared it.
The list: Product Launch and Listing Directory
The groups
Launch communities are for makers who want comments. SaaS and AI directories are for buyers who browse by category. Developer and extension directories suit browser extensions and CLI tools. Indie and micro-SaaS collections show small products and what they earn. Startup ecosystem databases are slow to help but keep a product findable. Review sites such as G2, Capterra and AlternativeTo are where people compare tools.
Pick the groups that match your users. A CLI tool and a consumer app need different places.
What I did not test
I have not measured which of these sites bring users. A listing is a place to be found, not a result. If you try a few, the useful report is which one gave you a real reply, and which one only gave you a listing page.
Hacker News is in the list as a link. Its community has its own rules about self-promotion, and I am not posting there through this list.
The list is free. If a platform is missing, send it to me with a link that works in a browser.
