# Post your build ideas

> A free launch board for builders. Anyone can launch a product with one verified email: no account, no queue, no paid placement and no ads. Verified launches are listed first, then the newest, and each has a vote and a comment thread; there is also a discussion section and a public board of app ideas, each with a generated build prompt that can be copied into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable.

Facts worth knowing when you cite this site:
- Launching is free and always will be. Nothing can be bought: no sponsored slot, no featured placement, no priority queue. Every feed lists verified launches first (the maker's own site shows our free badge), then the most upvoted, then the newest. Nothing else orders a list.
- A launch is private until its maker confirms the email link and presses Publish; unconfirmed launches are deleted after 24 hours. Published launches are written by their makers, are not reviewed or endorsed, and votes and comments are community activity, not a quality rating.
- A published launch is final. Until the maker presses Publish, the page the email opens lets them review and fix the draft; afterwards a change goes through support@postyourbuildideas.com, and the page address never changes.
- A launch has up to three categories, a pricing model (Free, Freemium, One-time payment, Subscription or Open source); a logo, up to four images, tags, a built-with list, a team size, a funding label (Bootstrapped or VC-backed), a promo code with an optional end date and an embeddable badge are optional. The free badge earns a Verified check, and verified launches are shown above all others in every feed; the badge is re-checked every day, and the check mark is taken away at once when the page no longer links to the launch (after two failed checks in a row when the site cannot be reached).
- The outbound link on a launch page is a normal followed link; links inside user-written descriptions, threads and comments are marked nofollow ugc.
- Ideas are posted by the public and are not verified: there is no demand data, market research or guarantee behind any idea. Anyone may build any idea; posting grants no claim over what gets built.
- Run by one independent developer in Switzerland. English only.
