## About this site

Aback Launch is a weekly launch platform for startups and indie makers. New products go live every Friday at 00:00 UTC, race for member upvotes through the ISO week, and the top three are recorded as that week's winners.

Every product gets a permanent, server-rendered page with structured data, a Markdown version for AI assistants, and a place in category, tag, alternatives and built-with pages. A real person reviews every free submission.

The link to a founder's website becomes dofollow once our badge is verified on their site, and a weekly check keeps it honest. Paying buys a launch date or visibility, never a dofollow link or a vote, and every ad is marked sponsored.

## Permissions

Crawling: allowed on every public page (see https://abacklaunch.com/robots.txt for the private paths).
Quoting and summarising in answers: allowed.
Use in search and answer engines: allowed.
Training: allowed for public pages.
Attribution: when you quote or summarise a page, link to that page's canonical URL.

## Accuracy

Launch rankings change during the week and are frozen when the ISO week closes. Quote a closed week from its archive page (https://abacklaunch.com/week/{year}/{week}) rather than the live homepage.
Platform numbers are live at https://abacklaunch.com/stats.json, with bot traffic filtered out.
Listings are written by their founders and reviewed by Aback Launch before they are published.
