About

I have a confession

I'm addicted to tools. New project management app? Bought it. Shiny new design tool? Subscribed. Some indie maker ships a clever little utility on Twitter? Take my money.

I've spent years hunting for the next great product — bookmarking launch pages, following makers, reading every "I just shipped" tweet. I genuinely love this space. The creativity, the hustle, the audacity of someone building something from scratch and putting it out into the world.

Then I built my own thing

After years of being on the buying side, I finally crossed over. I started building products myself. Nights and weekends, fueled by coffee and the naive belief that if I build something great, people will find it.

They didn't.

The product worked. I was proud of it. But launching into silence is a special kind of pain. You refresh your analytics and see… nothing. You share it on social media and get three likes — two from friends, one from your mom.

The hardest part isn't building

Here's what nobody tells you: building the product is the easy part. The real challenge is getting your first 100 users. Your first 10 paying customers. That initial spark of traction that tells you this thing might actually work.

I tried everything. Cold outreach. SEO articles. Reddit posts that got flagged as spam. Paid ads that burned through cash with nothing to show for it. I submitted to directories that promised exposure but delivered a backlink and zero clicks.

The platforms that could actually drive traffic? They felt like exclusive clubs. Either you needed connections, a following, or you had to get lucky enough to catch the algorithm on the right day.

So I built WeekHack

I wanted a place where every maker gets a fair shot. No gatekeeping, no waitlists, no algorithm deciding your fate. Just a simple, honest system: ship your product, let the community vote, and let the best ideas rise to the top each week.

Weekly cycles instead of a firehose. That means your launch doesn't get buried under 50 other products that went live the same hour. You get a full week of visibility, a dedicated product page, real votes from real people, and if you make the top 3 — a winner badge and a permanent dofollow backlink that actually helps your SEO.

What we believe

The world doesn't need another launch platform that caters to VC-funded startups with marketing budgets. It needs one that helps the solo developer shipping from their bedroom. The designer who built a side project over the weekend. The founder who's bootstrapping everything and can't afford to waste money on channels that don't convert.

Every product on WeekHack gets the same starting line. Free submissions. Community-driven rankings. No pay-to-win. Just great products getting the attention they deserve.
