Real talk: This launch isn't going how we hoped 😅 But honestly? That's exactly WHY we built Houston. Launch day shouldn't determine a product's fate. What happens in months 2-6 matters way more.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Yes, we're launching a Product Hunt alternative... on Product Hunt. The irony is intentional. Here's the thing: PH is GREAT at launch day visibility. You've built something special. But we kept seeing the same pattern: - Day 1: 🚀 #1 Product! - Day 2: ...crickets - Month 6: "Did that launch even matter?" Houston solves what happens AFTER launch day: ✅ Verify actual metrics...

Houston tracks what Product Hunt doesn't: what happens AFTER launch day.
We verify real metrics (MRR, users, growth)—not upvotes. Track products for months with Mission Updates. Surface what's thriving, not just what's new.
For founders: sustained visibility > 24-hour spike
For users: discover products with proven traction
For investors: verified metrics, not vanity numbers
Yes, launching a PH alternative on PH is meta. But PH owns launch day. We own everything after. 🚀
