Public listings, public maker profiles, category discovery, weekly competitions, earned winner recognition, and continuing lifetime voting are live. Private maker analytics are available where enabled for the owner and are not part of the public catalog. Premium Launch is Coming Soon: it is planned and is not available to purchase. No active checkout, paid ranking boost, or guaranteed promotion is offered. The Pricing page, FAQ, and Terms describe current free participation and planned Premium Launch. ## How launching works Sign in, review your product details, save your product, install its eligible Oribisoft website badge, and manually verify it. Launching requires valid verification, server-side eligibility, and an available slot. Founder approval is not required in the current self-service flow. A website URL change invalidates verification. Verification is not a security audit or endorsement; recurring automatic badge checks are not provided. Each edition has at most 12 occupied slots. Weeks begin Monday at 00:00 UTC and end the following Monday at 00:00 UTC, exclusively. Eligible makers can join this week immediately for the remaining competition time or schedule an available future Monday. Saving a draft does not reserve a slot. One launch per product; updates do not create a new entry. Weekly standings use valid weekly votes descending, then earlier publication time, then the stable product identifier. Current standings are provisional. After the window closes, finalization preserves weekly ranks and earned first-, second-, and third-place recognition. Recognition cannot be purchased. Later lifetime vote additions and removals do not change finalized results. Signed-in visitors may maintain at most one active vote per product launch. ## Core public pages - [Homepage](https://www.oribisoft.com/): Discover independent software through this week, recent launches, last week, and popular products. - [Explore Products](https://www.oribisoft.com/products): Search and filter eligible published software by category and pricing label. - [Categories](https://www.oribisoft.com/categories): Browse the active software taxonomy.
