Launch platform
A launch platform is a site where makers present a new product on a set day or week, the community upvotes it, and the best launches win.
Launch platforms add a moment to a listing: a ranking, a deadline, an audience paying attention. MakerRadar runs launches by the week — each launch week runs Monday to Monday — and every listing keeps a permanent page after its week ends.
