SwipeToLaunch is a launch directory built around one mechanic: swipe. New startups, SaaS products, dev tools and apps appear one card at a time, and visitors swipe right if they like the idea and left if they don't. Every swipe is a vote, no account needed.
The ranking comes from approval, not upvote counts. A product's score is the share of its swipes that said launch, and the board weighs that share against sample size, so 100% from 2 swipes sits below 92% from hundreds. Below 5 swipes a score is labelled Early. One vote per person per product.
