I keep seeing the same loop.
Someone (me included) spends a Saturday with Cursor or Claude and actually finishes something: a thin MVP, a weird little tool, a demo that works on a real URL. The build part got weirdly easy.
The awkward part starts after you push.
Product Hunt wants a launch day. Most directories want money, a queue, or a small circus of upvotes. Your own domain looks lonely. Friends say “cool” and move on. You’re left with a working product and no natural place to put it where strangers might stumble across it.
I don’t think this is a motivation problem. It’s a logistics gap. Shipping got faster than publishing.
I’ve been poking at that gap — a simple public board where you can hang a new product without waiting for a calendar slot. If you’re in the same spot: https://launchsignal.ai/?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=maker-note
Curious how other people handle the “done building, now what” week.
