I actually love seeing people launch things on DEV.
#showdev is one of my favorite tags here, and I check it pretty often because we can find some really fun and unexpected projects there. 🚀
At the same time, I do feel like some great projects disappear into the feed way too quickly.
So I totally understand why a proper launch system sounds appealing! 👍
But I’m a little worried about adding things like upvotes and rankings directly into DEV too. 😿
Once people start competing for votes, we might get more repeated promotion, vote chasing, and “please support my launch!” posts.
And personally, I really like that DEV is not just about launching products.
It’s a place for tutorials, silly experiments, deep technical posts, career stories, discussions, OSS, random discoveries, and even introducing your pets. 😸🐈
So I think I’d probably keep the actual launch system separate, while still using DEV articles to tell the story behind a launch. 😸
And actually, when I read this post, my heart skipped a beat a little. 😹
Because I’ve secretly been building something pretty close to this idea!
It’s a platform where people can share OSS projects, discover new ones through a bit of exploration and adventure, and eventually launch their own projects too. 👀🐈
I’m hoping to release it as a Necoz project in the future!
It’s still very much under construction, and I probably need another month or two just to get the foundation into a shape I’m happy with. 😹
But we definitely want to keep building it.
So, stay tuned! 😸🚀
And when the time comes, I’d really love to hear everyone’s ideas about what would make a developer-focused launch and discovery platform actually fun to use. 🙏

@nyaomaru bro my comment invisible 😥
Hmm, that’s strange. 😿
It might be something on DEV’s side, maybe moderation or a visibility issue.
Could you send me the link to the comment that became invisible? I’ll check whether I can see it from my side too! 👀
BTW, my comment also isn't shown... And maybe my notification is crashing now. 🤔
I received the comments here in my notification page but not showing under post
And Bro, you liked the comment, I didn't get a notification.🤔
