Last year I built and open-sourced open-launch.com, a Product Hunt-style launch directory. Sold it this summer (low 5 figures). Launchy is the premium rebuild, packaged as a Next.js 16 template.
It's a full Next.js app with Drizzle/Postgres, Better Auth, Stripe Checkout for paid submission tiers and self-serve sponsor slots, R2 uploads, Redis rate limiting, Turnstile captcha, Plunk transactional email, a cron-driven weekly batch that publishes accepted submissions and sends the newsletter, a Tiptap blog, threaded comments with a 26-language profanity filter, and an admin panel with 28 DB-backed settings so customers rebrand without touching code. Setup with "bun run setup" — most people are live in under an hour.
Pricing: first 10 copies 49 USD, then 79, 99, 129. One-time, lifetime updates, direct support. Live demo version: launchy.tools
