How I automated finding launch channels and generating platform-specific content

Launching a product as a solo founder means making hard tradeoffs between building and marketing. I spent 3 weeks manually researching launch channels for my last project, only to realize my posts weren't optimized for each platform's format. So I built LaunchKit to solve two specific problems: 1) knowing where to launch, and 2) what to say there.

The system analyzes your product category and target audience to recommend channels like DEV, IndieHackers, or Product Hunt, ranked by relevance. For each, it generates a post with the right tone, length, and CTAs - including UTM-tagged links so you can track what works.

The hardest part was structuring the content templates - DEV posts need technical depth, while Twitter threads require tighter hooks. I'm still tuning the algorithms, but early users saved 8-12 hours per launch.

As a developer building products, I’ve always struggled with launching effectively. The process of researching platforms, tailoring content, and tracking performance felt fragmented and time-consuming. I found myself spending hours crafting posts for Hacker News, Reddit, and Twitter, only to see inconsistent results. Worse, I couldn’t easily measure what worked. Most tools focused on one piece of the puzzle, like social scheduling or analytics, but none addressed the entire launch workflow.
