What this is
A launch board where every product earns its place. 🜂
Most launch sites are a one-day spike and then silence. You post, you beg your network for votes, you hit the front page for an afternoon, and by Thursday nobody can find you. We're not building another launch-and-die machine.
On FireLaunch, launch day is the qualifying round — not the prize. Every listing gets a real human review, a dofollow backlink that actually helps your SEO, and seven days to prove people care. Engagement is measured live, in the open, with a formula we publish and never quietly change.
Cross the line in week one and you don't just trend — you earn The Forge, a permanent home that never expires. No subscriptions, ever. Every paid tier and add-on is a one-time charge. You pay once, you keep what you earned.
How Spark works
Spark is the heat behind a listing. It's computed from five signals, each normalized to a 0–100 score first, then weighted. The formula is public and frozen — if we ever tune it, it ships as Spark v2 with a banner, never silently.
People who hit upvote. The clearest signal of intent.
Real traffic out to your product, not just eyeballs on a card.
How long visitors actually read before they bounce.
Conversation on the listing — questions, feedback, signal.
You showing up: replies, shipped updates, badge events.
Add the weighted signals together and you get a listing's raw Spark. Then time bites: Spark halves every 48 hours after launch day. Momentum is the whole point — a flat listing fades, a listing people keep returning to stays hot.
Cross 250 Spark inside your first 7 days and you're inducted into The Forge ◆ permanently. Miss it, and the listing still keeps its backlink and its place in the archive — it just doesn't carry the mark.
The Forge ◆
The Forge is permanence. Every product wearing the ◆ crossed 250 Spark in its first week and claimed a spot that never expires. It doesn't drop off when the next wave launches. It doesn't lapse if you stop paying — there's nothing to pay.
You can't buy your way in on Spark alone. The one exception: the Founder tier auto-inducts, and it's hard-capped at 100 seats for the life of the site. Once you're forged, you're forged.
