Show HN: Find support for your ProductHunt launch from fellow founders

LaunchPact is a platform that connects founders launching on Product Hunt around the same time. Users form mutual support pacts to boost each other's launches and improve their rankings on the day of launch.

Background

Product Hunt is a popular platform where startups and makers launch new products to the tech community; launches are ranked daily based on upvotes and comments, and a top ranking can bring significant traffic and attention. LaunchPact is a new service that connects founders who are planning to launch on Product Hunt around the same date. They form "pacts" to support each other's launch — by upvoting, commenting, and sharing — with the goal of boosting each other's rankings collectively. This taps into a well-known dynamic on Product Hunt: mutual support networks (often called "pact" or "support groups") can make or break a launch, especially for solo founders or small teams who lack an existing audience. LaunchPact formalizes and automates the matchmaking for these informal arrangements.
