Uneed Community - Launch, get seen, & grow alongside other makers
by•
The new version of Uneed is finally here, and is called "Uneed Community" ✨
There are A LOT of changes in this release, and we won't be able to go through all of them. But the two most important ones are:
💅🏻 A complete redesign of the website
📰 An X-like feed
The idea is to slowly pivot Uneed from a simple launch platform to what we'll call a social launchpad. You'll be able to market your product every day, to give/ask for feedback, and more.

@thomas_sanlis1Amazing idea! Really love the direction Uneed is taking. Could you share what types of products or services people can launch on Uneed, and what kind of response or traction creators typically see after launching?
Uneed
@maushook Thank Muhammath 🙌🏻
basically, you can launch any type of tech product on Uneed.
The traction you'll receive depends on a lot of factors. We don't have PH's traffic, so you can't expect hundreds of visits on your launch day unfortunately 😅.
But if you manage to climb the podium, you can unlock some nice traffic sources, like:
- Our leaderboards (weekly, monthly, yearly)
- Our "alternatives" pages
- A mention in our newsletter (11K subscribers)
- And now, our community (you can use links in your posts!)

Congrats on the launch! May I ask how this is different from Product Hunt? (not that it should be different - more places for new products, the better it is..)
Uneed
@cksaywise Thank you 🙏🏻
Of course, a very legitimate question as we were 100% positionning as a PH alternative before this launch 😅.
The main difference is that daily launches are limited to 20 seats, meaning everyone is featured every day, but this implies a waiting line.
And today, we're trying to slightly pivot from a simple launch platform to what I like to call a "social launchpad", with the new community feature.
Imagine the old twitter, but without the algo tricks, and made for builders 😊

Congrats on launch! Really like the direction you're taking with the platform, keep it up.

This is such a smart evolution! Turning a launch platform into a daily community for makers is exactly what we need. It's so hard to maintain momentum after launch day. Having a dedicated 'social launchpad' to share wins, get feedback, and build a waitlist over time is a game-changer. The new design looks fantastic. Can't wait to be a part of this
Amazing product. This is an absolute must for the community.
Congrats for pulling this off Thomas.

@louislsvr Thank you so much Louis 🫶🏻

@vladimir_zivkovic Thanks Vlad! Me too 🤩 I'm going to give them a shoutout on X!
As someone who's launched before without a huge following, I know how brutal it can be to get buried. Guaranteed homepage spot? That's huge.
I'm curious about the "submit to 75+ platforms" bundle - do you manually vet each directory submission, or is there an automated QC process? And the DR 72 backlink caught my eye too. Does every product get that, or is it performance-based?
Congrats and excited to see where you take this, Thomas!

@brenna_nguyen Thank you Brenna 🙌🏻
- We submit manually to 100+ directories, and we choose those directories depending on your product 😊
- Everyone gets a backlink, no matter their results!
The irony of making a community like PH and launching it in PH is peak!

So good to see Thomas growing this from a small project to something that’s used by thousands

@fayazahmed Thank you soooo much Fayaz 🫶🏻
Wow, it feels quite similar to Product Hunt , but is there something you’re trying to emphasize more about the community?
Uneed
@blake_wright_love Yep 😊. Uneed is a launch platform like product hunt, but we're doing a small pivot by adding a Community. It takes the form of a news feed in which you can share news about your products, ask for feedback, send polls, and soon manage waitlists, roadmaps, todolist etc
