I've built Open-Launch, a modern open-source alternative to Product Hunt.

- Open-source under MIT license - Modern stack (Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript) - Voting and commenting system - Premium launch options - Real-time notifications - Anti-spam protection - Admin dashboard

First launch scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 AM UTC.

GitHub: https://github.com/Drdruide/Open-Launch Website: https://open-launch.com

Looking forward to your feedback and contributions!
