Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

marketplace-launch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Marketplace Launch

Launch products across marketplaces and directories for maximum visibility, backlinks, and customer acquisition.

1. Product Hunt Launch Playbook

Pre-Launch (2-4 Weeks Before)

Hunter selection:

  • Top hunters get more visibility but are flooded with requests
  • Self-hunting is fine now — PH algorithm no longer heavily favors known hunters
  • If using a hunter: reach out 3-4 weeks early with a personal pitch, not a template
  • Provide them: one-liner, tagline, description, media assets, your availability on launch day

Asset preparation checklist (field limits change — confirm against the live submit form / Product Hunt's launch guide before finalizing):

  • Tagline: ~60 characters, benefit-focused (not feature-focused)
  • Description: up to ~500 characters — lead with the outcome, then the differentiator
  • Thumbnail: 240×240px logo/GIF, under ~3MB, clear on white; this is the icon people see in the feed — make value legible in 3 seconds
  • Gallery: 2+ images required, aim for 4-6 at 1270×760px (first image is the most important — treat it as the hero)
  • Video: YouTube link only (PH does not host uploads). A 30-90s demo lifts engagement; embed the YouTube URL in the video field
  • Interactive demo (optional, 2026): PH supports embedded interactive demos (e.g. via tools like Arcade/Storylane) — strong for letting people try before they leave the page
  • Launch tags/topics: pick up to 3 relevant topics. In 2026 the high-traffic dev/SaaS topics include AI, AI Agents, Developer Tools, Productivity, and "vibe coding"-adjacent tags — choose the topic where you can realistically rank, not just the biggest
  • Launch URL: use your clean canonical homepage. Do NOT use a shortened or UTM-tagged link in the launch URL field — PH strips/penalizes these and it breaks the redirect. Track attribution via a referrer-based view or a dedicated /ph landing route instead
  • Account: launch from a personal maker account. Company/brand accounts as the submitter are not allowed — add the company as the product's maker/team
  • Maker comment: draft your first comment (see launch day section)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
