Follow and updates
Follow a company, a product or a founder with the Follow button. Their news is delivered to your notices; channel and frequency are set at /account/notifications. Updates posted by companies are shown on their listing and listed together at /updates.
Share
Each launch has a share page with ready-to-paste text for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, WhatsApp and email, and a copy-link button.
Influence: inputs
Reviews written, comments written, votes received on your own launch, and signing in day after day. Money is not an input: influence cannot be bought. A higher level can give your vote more weight. Current level: /account/influence.
