Questions, answered

Developer tools, AI frameworks, open-source projects, and SaaS products that are upcoming, in private or public beta, or launched recently. Listings that are misleading, broken, or unrelated to software are declined.

Yes. A standard listing is free and stays up permanently, with its own tool page, upvotes, categories, and a place in the launch calendar. A featured launch is an optional $29 upgrade for launch week.

A name, a tagline of up to 160 characters, a cover image, a description, and at least one link people can act on: a waitlist, a website, or a repository. You can add up to three categories and a launch date if you have one.

Every submission is read by a person, usually within a few days. If something is missing you can fix it from your dashboard and the listing goes back into the queue.

Two things block approval: a description shorter than 220 characters, and having no website, waitlist, or repository link. Your dashboard lists whatever a listing is still missing.

Yes, from your dashboard, whenever you like. An edit sends the listing back through a quick review so the directory stays accurate.

A 16:9 cover image, and optionally a clip of up to two minutes and a square logo. Files are optimized in your browser before upload, so the cover becomes WebP at up to 1600px and video is compressed to 720p.

Change the date on the listing and the calendar follows it. A tool moves into the launched section by itself once its date arrives, so nothing needs to be done on launch day.

Yes. Open the listing and use the claim link. Sign in with the GitHub account that owns the repository it links to and the claim is approved instantly, otherwise a person reviews it within a couple of days.

Email support@teasertrack.cc from an address connected to the project and we will take it down. You can also delete your own listings from your dashboard.

Explore is the whole radar, searchable and filterable by category and status. The launch calendar groups every tool with a confirmed date by month, soonest first.

Upcoming means it has been announced but you cannot use it yet, beta means there is private or public access, and launched means it is out. Makers keep the status current as the tool ships.

No, the whole directory is public. Signing in with GitHub or Google lets you upvote the tools you are waiting for, and each account can upvote a tool once.

Every listing with enough overlap gets an alternatives page collecting the other tools that share its categories. A list appears once three listed tools sit in the same category.

It reads repositories created in the past month from the GitHub API and ranks them by how fast they are gaining stars. It refreshes every hour and filters by language, star count, and age.

Yes. The newsletter goes out every Monday with new listings, the launches coming up, and one teaser worth watching. The blog also has an RSS feed at /rss.xml.

Not necessarily. Listings are reviewed for accuracy, but a dated launch can slip or be cancelled, and we do not guarantee that any listed tool ships on its date or at all.

Your listing is pinned in the trending section on the homepage, gets a Featured label, and is included in the weekly newsletter for the week of your launch.

Yes. Paid placements follow the same quality guidelines as free listings, and every paid placement is clearly labelled.

Sponsorships are booked monthly for category page banners and newsletter slots. Send us a message and we will share available dates and audience details.

Request a featured launch or sponsorship through the contact form and we will confirm dates and send a secure payment link before anything goes live.

An SVG badge for your README, footer, or launch page. It links back to your listing and shows its current upvote count, and the badge page has dark and light snippets in HTML and Markdown.

With GitHub or Google. There is no password to manage, and the same account works for submitting tools, upvoting, and editing your listings.

The name, email address, picture, and username from the provider you sign in with, the listings and media you submit, and the upvotes you give. Google Analytics measures page visits and never receives your account details.

Use the link at the bottom of any issue. It takes one click, and nothing else about your account changes.

Yes. You can delete your listings yourself from your dashboard, and for the account itself email support@teasertrack.cc or use the contact form and we will remove it.
