This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
I’m Germán, and for the last ~1000 days (961 streak right now 😅), I’ve been deeply inside the PH ecosystem.
- Supporting launches. - Commenting. - Hunting. - Launching own projects. - Helping founders get visibility.
And something kept happening over and over again: I receive ~5 DMs every single day from solo founders asking:
“How should I launch?” “Can you support my PH launch?” “Where else should I post?” “Am I doing this right?”
After 3 years, that became 5k+ supported projects. I genuinely love helping founders launch. But there’s a problem: launching is chaotic, emotional, and incredibly lonely when you’re building solo.
And honestly… manually helping everyone became unsustainable.
So I built plzsupport.me a launch copilot for solo founders 🚀
The idea is simple:
Give indie hackers and solo builders the structure, visibility, and support system they usually don’t have.
What it currently helps with:
* 300+ launch sites & directories to distribute your product and gain SEO backlinks * Launch planning based on your stage, niche, and ICP * Ready-to-use launch posts & promotion content * Building your own supporter crew before launch day * Reducing the “I’m launching alone” feeling
Most founders spend their energy building… and only a few hours thinking about distribution. I wanted to fix that.
This is not another “growth hack” tool. It’s more like a practical launch companion made from years inside the trenches supporting makers here.
What’s next:
* Launch score & readiness checks * Supporter matchmaking * Launch analytics * AI-generated launch strategies * Founder community features * Public launch timelines/playbooks
Also it’s heavily inspired by the incredible amount of builders I met here on Product Hunt ❤️
Would genuinely love your feedback: What’s the hardest part about launching solo today?
The useful part here, to me, is not just the directory list — it is the launch judgment layer around it. Solo founders rarely need “more places to post” in the abstract; they need help deciding which channels match the product, stage, ICP, and credibility they actually have today.
I like that you’re explicitly pushing away from vote-trading/support pods in the comments. One thing that could make the supporter side healthier is asking founders to label why each person belongs in the crew: customer, beta user, investor, community peer, prior collaborator, etc. That keeps “support” tied to a real relationship instead of becoming generic engagement debt.
I think this is a great idea!
Will maybe try it for my next launch :)
Icon looks a but stange to me, maybe name is also not optimal?
This is so good! I was so exhausted after the last launch, I could barely see ph logo, and thought that I’d better never launch a product again on my own (although there was a team behind a product, but the launch was on my side, and I failed it). Huge thank you for your great idea and its realization 🙏 with you all the best
Ahhh! hopefully everyone will go wild with this! looks super helpful.. good luck mate @german_merlo1
How does Plz Support Me help you recruit supporters without spamming people?
@german_merlo1 The supporter crew piece intrigues me, but also worries me.
Product Hunt has historically cracked down on coordinated upvoting and engagement pods. How are you designing the supporter matchmaking so it generates genuine interest instead of becoming another vote-trading ring that gets launches penalized?
