Glossary term

Directory submission

The act of entering a product into one directory: account, form, assets, confirmation — and the recorded outcome.

Definition

A directory submission is the complete act of entering a product into a single directory: creating or signing in to the account, filling the form with tagline, description, category, pricing and screenshots, satisfying extra requirements such as a badge or a verification email, and pressing submit. The submission ends with an observed outcome — a thank-you screen, a dashboard label, a confirmed date or a public page.

A submission is not a listing. The listing exists when the directory publishes it; the submission is what you did to ask for one.

Example

One submission to PitchWall, as observed: sign in, complete the personal profile, import the product URL, correct the imported product name and description, choose tags, upload a real logo and screenshot, reopen the edited fields to confirm they saved, then press Submit for Review.

The page answered “Under Review” with an estimate of more than 30 days. So the tracker row reads submitted_pending_review with the estimate in a private note, not live. Pressing Submit again would not speed it up; it would create a duplicate.

Why it matters for a directory launch

Every launch stalls at the same place: the twentieth form with slightly different field limits. Submissions are repetitive, but they are not identical, and the difference between “I clicked submit” and “the platform received it” is where inflated totals come from. Treating each submission as one row with its own state keeps the count honest and tells you what to do next.

How LaunchRepo handles it

LaunchRepo does not submit anything by itself. Your agent works one platform at a time from its playbook, reuses the product context file, stops at any payment or CAPTCHA and records the result with record.py — one current row per platform, replaced explicitly, never appended silently. The local dashboard groups the rows by needs-you, problems, in review, scheduled and live.

A launch run from start to finish

A full batch from brief to results: picking platforms, working one platform at a time, recording states and resuming after a break.
