The Launch Checklist I Use Before Shipping Anything

You built the thing. It works on localhost. Time to ship.

Then three days later you realize you forgot a favicon. A week later someone points out your site has no meta description. A month later you check analytics and realize you never installed them.

Every developer has shipped something half-ready. Not because the product was bad, but because the infrastructure around it was incomplete.

The Stuff You Forget

It is always the same things:

SEO: No meta title. No description. No OG image. No sitemap. No robots.txt.

Performance: No image optimization. No lazy loading. Never tested on mobile.

Security: No HTTPS redirect. No security headers.

Legal: No privacy policy. No terms of service.

Analytics: No tracking at all.

The Fix

I built an interactive launch checklist. 21 items across 6 categories. Check items off, see your completion percentage, saves progress locally.
