đ„ Get more points by launching on Alpha Day
Weâre trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.
The idea is simple. If this is the first time youâre launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).
This is for the genuinely fresh stuff. The products that are just getting out into the world. The ones that still need feedback, still have rough edges, and are way more interesting because of it.
Weâre also putting more weight on comments. So if you try an Alpha product and leave a thoughtful comment, it matters more. And if youâre a maker, jumping in and commenting on other Alpha launches can help you too.
Basically: launch something new, try other new things, leave real feedback, and make each otherâs day.
If that sounds like your kind of chaos, get your launch in by tomorrow midnight PST.

This feels like a strong incentive for builders to ship before they over-polish.
Iâd be interested to see whether Alpha Day ends up rewarding products with clearer problems and stronger conversations, not just prettier launch assets.
That would be a healthy signal for the community.

I've already launched other founders product here. Can I launch mine tomorrow tagging Alpha?
Hi, what a great idea! this suits my product perfectly as i'm finding it hard for some initial test users and feedback. Is alpha day every first Thursday of the month? Thanks :)

great initiative @aaronoleary
Any article or guidelines to define what is an Alpha vs Beta vs Full Launch from a PH perspective?
Tks
Exciting, is this just for products launching on Thursday / the plan is to continue this after Thursday too? We're launching in a few weeks
How often will you guys do something like this? It's a great idea!
Will this be a regular thing or just a one off?
I tagged alpha but I do not see any boost to my points. Did I do something wrong? Where is a special leaderboard?
Why is Pennies-AI not marked with the Alpha tag? This is my first launch, and I chose this day specifically due to the email I received about alpha launch day.
Will it make a difference? if every one comes in with the same number of high boosts, how do you actually tell whats good and whats just a result of the boost? I love the idea of bringing new products to the forefront but is this the best way to do it I wonder ?
