Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, launches have gotten more crowded too, and the day you pick can matter almost as much as the product itself.
I've already launched my tool, Murmell, once, and I'm gearing up for a second launch on Friday the 28th. This time around I'm putting a lot more thought into timing, not just readiness.
We're launching Murmell tomorrow, after a month of rebuilding everything inside it.
Murmell is an infinite canvas where your coding agents run in the cloud instead of on your machine. Claude Code, Codex and others, in real terminals, several of them in the same project at once.
When you're pre-launch with zero audience, the generic "hey, check out my product" DM just doesn't work, people can tell it's copy-pasted to 200 others.
What's worked better for me:
Give value before asking anything (a real comment, a resource, actual context on what they built)
Skip broad cold DMs, join niche communities instead (Discord/Slack) and let the product come up naturally
