What LaunchDB is
LaunchDB gives builders a dedicated, recurring window to put a finished product in front of the BigIdeasDB community. Instead of a one-off launch that disappears in a day, each week has its own showcase, and strong launches carry into the trending and archive views. Open it from LaunchDB.
It pairs naturally with the rest of the platform: you validate a problem in the research databases, build it with BuildGuide and BuildHub, then launch it on LaunchDB where the same community of builders can find and upvote it.
Discovering and upvoting products
- This week - the current showcase of newly launched products, ranked by community votes.
- Trending - launches gaining momentum right now across recent weeks.
- Archives - past weekly showcases you can browse to study what shipped and how it did.
Upvoting is the core signal. When you upvote a product you like, you help that maker climb the weekly ranking and get discovered by more of the community. Vote for what you would actually use, not just what is already at the top.
Study the archives before you launch
Scroll past weekly showcases to see how successful launches described themselves and what got upvotes. It is the fastest way to write a listing that lands.

Frequently asked questions
How often can I submit a product?
LaunchDB runs on a weekly cycle, so each week has its own showcase. Submit a product when it is ready to be seen, and it enters that week's showcase for the community to discover and upvote.
What do upvotes do?
Upvotes rank products within the weekly showcase and feed the trending view. The more upvotes a launch gathers, the more visible it becomes to the rest of the community, which is how makers get discovered.
Can I still see products after their week ends?
Yes. Every weekly showcase is preserved in the archives, and strong launches surface in the trending view, so past products stay browsable.
