Listwave
Listwave is a launch cockpit for indie hackers that streamlines product launches across 26+ directories, communities, and listing sites. Users fill out a single launch kit with their product's name, tagline, descriptions, pricing, and screenshots. The platform then automatically maps this information to the required fields for each outlet, providing pre-built copy tailored to sites like Product Hunt, Hacker News, BetaList, and more. Progress tracking helps users monitor submissions at a glance, with a visual progress bar and the ability to mark outlets as submitted or skipped. Built with privacy and convenience in mind, Listwave features on-device AI rewriting powered by WebGPU, allowing users to adjust copy length or tone without sending data to external servers. The tool requires no API keys and stores data locally, ensuring that user data remains private. Per-outlet copy storage lets users tweak submissions for individual platforms without affecting others, and a drag-and-drop interface allows prioritization of launch outlets. Listwave ships with 26 pre-loaded outlets and supports adding custom outlets to fit any launch strategy. The entirely free tool eliminates the need for spreadsheets, simplifies outreach, and accelerates the go-to-market process for indie projects and startups. Users can sign in, fill their kit, and begin submitting immediately, with no credit card required.
