Only 1 spot left.

300 paying creators on Firsto. And one customer has already paid to launch 9 times. 45 creators have come back and paid again. It's still early, but seeing people come back is probably the best signal we could ask for. #indiedev #buildinpublic

No audience? No problem. Some makers launched on Firsto and now rank alongside — or even above — their own websites on Google. You don't need thousands of followers to get discovered. Build. Launch. Get found. 🚀 firsto.co #buildinpublic #indiedev

Firsto ranks #4 for the product keyword.

My VPS that hosted the Go link is no longer available because the provider disappeared, so I can’t recover the service. that's why the link doesn't work

Most people think launch platforms are just a 24h traffic spike But the real signal is whether builders come back One Firsto user since July 2025: 1 Free launch, 2 Premium Launch, 3 Pro Launch 10 months. 6 launches. Still here. Retention > vanity metrics. What’s your North Star: hype or trust?

One Firsto user since July 2025:

1 Free launch, 2 Premium Launch, 3 Pro Launch on firsto

5 new launches on Firsto yesterday. 2 are already ranking #3 within 24h. What you actually get: • Instant indexing • Early keyword rankings • Traffic that lasts past launch day That’s the difference between a “launch” and real distribution #buildinpublic #seo #indiedev

Most launch platforms optimize for visibility. We optimize for: → Google ranking → real clicks → long-term distribution If your launch disappears after 24h, it’s not distribution, it’s noise.
