đŸ”„ Get more points by launching on Alpha Day

by‱

We’re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you’re 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.

We’re also putting more weight on comments. So if you try an Alpha product and leave a thoughtful comment, it matters more. And if you’re 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 other’s day.

If that sounds like your kind of chaos, get your launch in by tomorrow midnight PST.

Alpha Day is honestly a great idea. Early launches usually get ignored because people expect polished products, but the best feedback comes when things are still rough and evolving. Weighting thoughtful comments more also makes the community feel less like pure promotion and more like actual collaboration.

I’d love to see more experimental tools launch this way, especially in spaces moving fast like image ai api products where real user feedback matters more than perfection on day one.
