What counts

A working link, one clear user, and a short honest explanation of what you tested.

What doesn’t matter

Fancy design, paid tools, a big feature list, perfect English, or whether your first version breaks.

What you get

A public launch page, project on your builder profile, community feedback, and eligibility to apply for Launch Credits.
