LaunchGate - Pre-Launch AI code safely with a gated checklist and prompts

LaunchGate for AI Builders is a pre-launch security and readiness checklist tool built for vibe coders and release teams shipping apps with Lovable, Base44, Replit, and other AI builder platforms. LaunchGate walks you through 14 critical sections with prompts and then platform-specific fix steps for each item. When issues are found, a built-in AI Prompt Generator creates a paste-ready, platform-aware prompt you can drop directly into your AI builder's chat to fix everything in one shot.

Vote selling on Product Hunt

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

  • An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

  • An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

  • Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

  • What would you want to see us do differently here?
