What makes a solo SaaS ready to launch?
A launch is ready when an appropriate new user can understand the promise, complete the main task, see the commitment, and reach you when something fails. Readiness depends on the product and its risks. A launch date or polished homepage does not replace a working customer journey.
Which checks should happen inside the product?
Use a fresh account to test signup, the core task, saved results, logout, and access to help. Where billing exists, verify the stated trial, plan limits, receipts, and cancellation path in the appropriate test environment. Check error messages and recovery when a dependency fails. Confirm that the data handling described to customers matches the actual product. Record who owns each unresolved issue, even when every owner is you.
What public materials do you need?
Prepare an audience-specific landing page, accurate pricing or beta terms, contact details, and a short demo using safe sample data. Create one source sheet for the product name, URL, description, supported workflows, and limits. Follow the directory preparation guide and demo guide instead of improvising inconsistent claims for each channel. ShowMeYourSaaS accepts review requests for working products; submission does not guarantee publication.
How should you handle launch week and follow-up?
Choose one audience channel and keep time available to answer questions and repair friction. Record which visitors complete a useful action and what prevents others from trying. Use the marketing plan to define the next experiment.
