How do reviews, follows and influence work here?

Write reviews of other founders' products, comment, follow for updates, report concerns, and build influence through genuine participation.

Spotted something worth sharing?

Community reviews are how founders log their thoughts on each other's products. To write one, you'll need to sign in, confirm your email address, and have a live listing of your own. Each product can be reviewed once by you, and your review needs at least 80 characters. Once published, it appears straight away—no queue.

The product owner or a manager with team access can post one public reply under each review. They can edit or delete their reply later, and you'll be notified the first time they respond.

Product field reviews

Discovera Launch gathers the in-depth Product reviews of its finds at /reviews, behind the "Field reviews" footer link once one is out. Each one was commissioned by the maker, wears that label and cannot be changed by the maker. Community notes are kept on each find's own page. No rating is shown.

Off the beaten track: comments and reporting

Anyone with a confirmed email can comment on a launch and reply to other comments. If something doesn't belong on the trail—a review, comment, reply or listing that breaks the rules—use the Report link. When 3 different people report a review or comment, it's hidden until our team investigates. Reported listings are always checked by us and never hidden automatically.

Following the route and tracking influence

Follow a company, product or founder with the Follow button to receive updates in your notices. You can choose how and how often you're told at /account/notifications. All updates posted by companies are logged at /updates.

Influence is earned, never bought. You build it by writing reviews and comments, receiving votes on your own launch, and visiting regularly. Your influence level appears at /account/influence and can give your vote more weight when the community votes.

Questions people ask

Can I write more than one review for the same product?
No. Once you've reviewed a product, that's your one log of it. You can't review your own listing.
What happens if someone reports my review or comment?
If 3 people report it, it's hidden temporarily while our team checks it. Reported listings are always reviewed by us, but never hidden automatically.
How do I see when a founder I'm following shares news?
Notifications appear in your notices. You control how you're told and how often at /account/notifications. Company updates are also gathered at /updates.
Where are the field reviews?
At /reviews: Product reviews only, each commissioned by the maker.
