Overview
FollowX is a launchpad and founder network for people who build on X. Most launch boards have a problem: rankings are easy to game with bought votes. On FollowX every upvote comes from a verified X Premium account, so the daily leaderboard reflects real people. It is free to use. Launch days run for 24 hours from 10:00 UTC, and the top 3 products each day earn a Product of the Day badge.
Key Features
- Verified-only upvotes: only X Premium accounts can vote.
- Paste-a-URL launch form: enter your product URL and the form fills itself in.
- Daily launch board: each launch day starts at 10:00 UTC and lasts 24 hours.
- Product of the Day badges for the top 3 products each day.
- Permanent launch pages with screenshots, comments and a link to your site.
- Founder matching: swipe through founders in your niche, match, and follow each other on X.
- Free X tools: a bio generator, a shadowban checker and a best time to post finder.
Use Cases
Solo founders and indie hackers can use FollowX as an honest place to launch a product and collect real feedback. Builders who work in public on X can turn their audience into early users, and the permanent launch page gives them a stable link to share in their bio, replies and newsletters.
Founders looking for peers can swipe through others in their niche. When two people match, they follow each other on X, which is a simple way to build a circle of people working in the same space.
Anyone who wants to improve their presence on X can use the free tools to write a clearer bio, check for a shadowban, and find a good time to post.
Getting Started
Paste your product URL, review the launch form that fills itself in, adjust the name, tagline, description and screenshots, choose when to launch, and submit. When your launch day starts at 10:00 UTC your product appears on the board, and verified X Premium users can upvote and comment. Reply to comments, share your launch page on X, and follow your position on the leaderboard through the 24 hour window.
Why verified upvotes matter
When votes are cheap, rankings stop meaning anything. By restricting upvotes to verified X Premium accounts, FollowX raises the cost of manipulation and gives each vote more weight. A product at the top of the board has earned the attention of real people, which is worth much more to a founder than a large but empty vote count.
Pricing and Plans
FollowX is free. Launching, upvoting, commenting, matching with founders and using the X tools do not require payment.
Who is behind it
FollowX is built by Eric Solodev, a solo founder who got tired of launch boards full of bought votes. Feedback is welcome: reach out on X at @ericsolodev.
