What you actually get
A page at /product/<slug> entered into a week you choose, with a Winners page ranking that week's products. It is the only site in this family with a launch date and a vote attached to it.

How to submit to LaunchClash

  1. Sign in
    Log in with Google is the only option; /api/auth/google?redirect=/submit goes straight there.
  2. Enter the URL
    Step 1 takes your homepage and nothing else, then generates a badge pointing at the listing URL you have not created yet.
  3. Put the badge up and verify
    Step 2 will not pass until their checker finds that exact anchor. The listing fields do not exist until it does.
  4. Fill, pick a week, submit
    Same fields as its siblings plus a required Launch Week. Weeks run several deep and each shows how many products are already in it.

Gotchas

The badge is not the last step, it is the second: the listing fields do not render at all until their checker has found the anchor, so there is nothing to preview and nothing to save first.
Unlike its siblings this one requires a Launch Week, and the form fails silently without it: the button spins, nothing posts and no error appears.
The badge they generate points at a listing URL that does not exist yet, so it answers 404 until the week arrives.
The site carries a house ad for the operator's own bulk submission service on every page, which is what the directory is really selling.
