Show HN: Launchgrid – Explore Today's Launches Across Product Hunt and Show HN (opens in new tab)

Hundreds of new tech ideas are launched every day. The best communities online for these launches are right here on Hacker News and of course Product Hunt. However, if you want to try and discover your next favorite product, often what you want to see are screenshots and some more detail about the product before drilling into it. So I created Launchgrid to give you that quick overview of each launch across Show HN and PH. This way you'll have a quicker and more pleasant experience discovering the new products of today!

The main features are:

- Aggregates today's launches for both Product Hunt and Hacker News

- The first screenshot from PH, and the open graph image from HN are shown for each launch

- If there's no OG image for an HN post, a screenshot of the website is shown

- Link to PH or HN from the launch card, but also a direct link to the product

- Ability to install as a progressive web app

Some ideas for the future of this project:

- Archive for the launches of previous days

- An RSS feed so you can consume the same content in your app of choice

- Introduce more sources. Are there other sources for new launches that you think I should include?

- What else?

Please take a moment to check it out and let me know what you think! Thank you!

Love it! I bookmarked this. I have a daily need to look at what new things are launching (for BuilderNews).

I would love a table view.

Perhaps we should chat, maybe we can combine forces in some way.
