Where to launch a side project
A side project does not need a stadium. It needs a room where 'I built this on nights' is normal, and where a tiny product can finish somewhere.
Sidehunt, TinyLaunch, and Smol Launch are sized for that. Product Hunt can wait until the project is a product.
Criteria: Fit for small scope, ease, and a winnable board.
What to prepare
- Honest scope in the tagline — 'weekend tool for X' is a feature here
- A tryable demo even if pricing is 'maybe later'
- Screenshots of the real UI, not a coming-soon page
Run this sequence
- Sidehunt or TinyLaunch for a board sized to a side project.
- Smol Launch or MicroLaunch if you want a week or a month.
- SoloPush if you built it alone.
- Skip Product Hunt until this is more than a weekend.
