Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, launches have gotten more crowded too, and the day you pick can matter almost as much as the product itself.

I've already launched my tool, Murmell, once, and I'm gearing up for a second launch on Friday the 28th. This time around I'm putting a lot more thought into timing, not just readiness.

Founders ! drop your startup below :)

I'm gonna check every single one and give you feedback.

Here is mine : Murmell, it's basically google docs for AI coding agents, you can collaborate with your friend in the same board and use multi providers coding agents in the same rooms, and all that, in the cloud.

I spent yesterday debugging a payment flow that an AI assistant confidently generated for me. The happy path? Flawless. The part where a user's card declines mid-transaction and we need to retry with exponential backoff while logging to three different services? The assistant completely missed it and didn't even flag that it was skipping anything.

It got me thinking about where these tools actually excel versus where they consistently fall short. They're genuinely exceptional at scaffolding, at spinning up the obvious structure of a feature. But the moment you need to handle what shouldn't happen race conditions, partial failures, the weird state your system ends up in at 2 AM they seem to lose the plot entirely.
