Spawned

Hey everyone 👋

The team behind Spawned have launched enough products to know the painful cycle to every founder: spend weeks building, pick a launch day, get some buzz, then watch 90% of your traffic vanish by day two. The product was fine. The distribution just wasn't there. They kept thinking, why are "building" and "launching" still two completely separate steps? Why build in one tool, then go beg for attention somewhere else?

So they built Spawned. It's a builder and a launch platform in one. You describe your idea in plain English, and the AI builder (Claude Opus 4 under the hood) generates a real, production-ready web app. Not a landing page. Not a wireframe. A polished product with 70+ component types, professional design packs, and zero placeholder content. It ships clean every time.

But here's where it gets interesting: you don't launch into a void. Every project goes live on Spawned's explore page with built-in discovery: upvotes, comments, trending rankings, daily leaderboards, and a real-time activity feed. Your launch has an audience from the moment you hit publish.

What they built for creators:

• AI builder that turns a description into a live product in minutes

• Explore page with trending, top, and new project discovery

• Daily leaderboards: top 3 projects win badges and streaks

• AI content generator: tweets, threads, TikTok scripts, meme templates in one click

• Creator studio with analytics, revenue tracking, and audience insights

• Bounty system to reward referrals, content creation, and engagement

• Affiliate program with customizable commission rates

• Code export: download your project anytime, you own everything

And optionally, a token economy. If you want to take it further, you can launch your project with a Solana token on a bonding curve. Early supporters buy in at a lower price. As your project grows, the token price reflects that. Builders earn 0.30% on every trade. It's a way to turn your community into genuine stakeholders, but it's completely optional. Plenty of projects on Spawned launch without one.

They built this because they wanted a platform where shipping an idea and getting it in front of people was one motion, not two. Where the launch itself had momentum built in.

Try it, break it, tell them what's missing.

Merging the build and launch phases handles the distribution problem right from day one, which is usually the hardest part. The code export feature is a major plus for anyone worried about lock-in.

When exporting the project, does the AI produce a standard stack like Next.js that is easy for a human developer to take over and scale manually?

Congrats! How exactly does your platform help with Product Hunt discovery? What's your competitive advantage compared to Lovable?
