Built for independent makers and solo founders.
The launch board that shows you exactly what it sent you. No vanity upvote contests, no secret referral stats, and no buying the spotlight without earning it.
The Problem with Modern Launching
Most launch boards show you votes, not visitors. You only find out how many people actually clicked through to your site when you open your own analytics afterwards.
And a launch that lasts one day on a busy leaderboard is easy to miss. If you are a solo maker without an audience, it can feel like launching as a ghost.
Our Five Commitments
Every feature on Hauntboard serves these five core rules:
1. Public stats on every launch
Page views and outbound clicks are shown publicly on every product page and in the maker dashboard, counted once per browser per day with known bots filtered out.
2. Every approved launch gets a dofollow link
Free or paid. Money buys timing and placement, never the link itself. Free listings keep their dofollow link while the Hauntboard badge stays on their site.
3. Built to be found on Google and AI search
Every launch keeps a permanent page, browsable by week, category and traffic. Each page is in our sitemap, carries structured data that tells search engines what your app is, and is open to the AI search crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Nobody can promise rankings; we make sure people looking for tools can find and read yours long after launch week.
4. A strict human quality bar
Every listing is human-reviewed and requires a genuine founder note. Low-effort and spam submissions are rejected, so Hauntboard never becomes a spammy link farm.
5. Maker stories are earned, never sold
Each week the top three launches and one editor's pick get a short Q&A feature, written with the maker. No tier, sponsor, or payment can buy one.
The Ghost Meter: Measuring Real Visibility
We believe small numbers should feel kind. Getting 12 real people to test your software is a monumental achievement. As visitors discover your launch, your ghost fades in:
Still a ghost
Glimpsed
Spotted
Seen
Unmissable
Built by Pritam Ghosh
@iPritamX on XI built Hauntboard because launching felt built for teams that already have an audience. If you spend months building a genuine product, you deserve a place that reviews your work with care, gives it a dofollow link, and counts every visit it sends you.
Don't be a ghost. Show what you built.
Launch your app on Hauntboard. Free launches include a human review, a dofollow listing (while the Hauntboard badge is on your site), and live public traffic stats.
