New KittyLaunch Badges Are Here🏅

KittyLaunch badges have a fresh new look with more styles to choose from. You can now add Verified, Launching Soon, Trending Now, and, if eligible, Winner badges to your website, with multiple designs available for each badge type.

Existing badges will continue to work and will automatically update to the new Pill design, so there’s nothing you need to change. We’ve also made the badge selection experience simpler, so it’s easier to find a style that fits your landing page.

KittyDir: Find, track, and launch on the right directories

We've added KittyDir, a new part of KittyLaunch that helps you get your product in front of more people.

For product makers:

  • Browse a curated catalog of launch directories and pick the ones that fit your product.

  • Keep a checklist for each project so you always know which directories you've submitted to, which are pending, and which are live.

  • See the Domain Rating for every directory and for your own projects, so you can focus on the directories worth your time.

  • Save the live URL for each successful launch and quickly find where your backlinks are coming from.

  • Like and review directories to help other makers choose.

  • KittyDir will monitor your backlinks for you and let you know if anything changes via email notification

For directory owners:

  • List your directory so more makers can discover and submit to it.

  • Reach more makers and collect real feedback through likes and reviews

  • Build your directory's reputation over time.

  • Get a free dofollow backlink from kittylaunch.com to your directory.

Everything lives under https://kittylaunch.com/directories, and you can use your existing KittyLaunch account, no separate login needed.

Our Media team is here! We're now helping products get seen🎉

We've put together our Media team, and they're ready to start helping selected SuperKitty products reach more people. For chosen products, we'll now share them across the web, places like Launch Stories, Review, Bluesky, X, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to bring more eyes to your work. To make this all visible, we've added a new "Feed" page in the top navigation where you can see a live stream of products being shared, which platform they went out on, and when it happened.

Smarter AI Autofill: More Natural, Cleaner Product Descriptions

We've made AI Autofill descriptions even better. Generated descriptions now read more naturally, like they were written by a real person, not a robot. Your product page focuses on what matters most: the value, features, and benefits. Descriptions are now cleaner and easier to read, with no awkward punctuation or cluttered formatting.

Improvement

Improved Maker Comments

We've optimized Maker Comments so they work more smoothly and reliably across your product pages.

Improvement

Better Social Sharing Images

We’ve completely refreshed the social images for the KittyLaunch homepage and builder product pages. When you share these pages on social media, they will now appear with a cleaner and more polished preview image.

Improvement

Redesigned Submission Flow

We’ve redesigned the submission flow to make adding your product faster, clearer, and easier to complete. Each step is now more organized, so you can focus on sharing the important details about your product.

Jul 7, 2026

Improvement

Blog articles are now fully readable by search engines

We've improved how our blog articles are delivered to search engines like Google. Now, the full article text, headings, and images are included in the page right from the start, so search engines can read and index them properly.

These changes don't affect how the blog looks for you, everything still loads and reads the same. They simply make sure search engines and social media platforms can properly understand and share your blog articles.

Feature

Smoother Badge Verification & Manual Review Experience

We've made several improvements to the badge verification flow to make it easier to request a manual review when automatic detection fails:

  • Seamless draft-to-review handoff: When you save your product as a draft from the badge verification steps, we now automatically open your product's edit page and take you straight to the "Request manual review" section.

  • Better scrolling in the Dashboard badge popup: If the badge verification popup on your Dashboard had a lot of content, it used to overflow off the screen. It now scrolls smoothly so you can see everything without anything getting cut off.

Improvement

Smarter AI Autofill & Richer Product Descriptions

We've significantly upgraded our AI Autofill feature to give you much more accurate and detailed results when adding a product. Here's what's improved:

  • Better website reading: AI Autofill now reads the actual content of your website directly, instead of relying on a quick web search. This means the AI understands what your product actually does, resulting in far more accurate names, taglines, and descriptions.

  • Smarter AI model: We've switched to a more capable AI model that produces higher-quality, more natural-sounding product copy.

  • Rich text descriptions: AI-generated descriptions now include formatting like bold text, bullet points, and section headings — making your product page look more polished and professional right out of the box.

  • Description quality standard: We've added a minimum length requirement for product descriptions (1,500 characters) to ensure every product on KittyLaunch has a thorough, informative write-up. A live character counter now helps you track this as you write.

  • Helpful character counter: You'll now see a real-time character count under the description field, so you always know when your description is ready to go.

Improvement

Product Screenshots Now in 16:9 Widescreen

Screenshot previews on product pages now use a consistent 16:9 widescreen format, giving your product gallery a cleaner, more professional look. No matter what size image you upload, it will be displayed in a uniform frame, making browsing smoother and more visually appealing for visitors.

Improvement

Comments now earn reputation points, just like reviews

Leaving a comment on someone else's product now earns the same reputation points as leaving a review. The product owner also receives points when a comment is posted. The rules are the same as reviews: once per product, and posting on your own product does not count.

Jun 18, 2026

Improvement

Rich Snippet Cleanup in Google Search

We fine tuned how product details appear in Google Search so the listing follows Google's current guidelines for third party review signals. Your product's name, tagline, and links still show up as before.

Jun 17, 2026

Feature

Comments and Reviews Are Now Separate on Product Pages

Every product page now has a new Comments area next to Reviews. Use Reviews to leave a star rating and feedback, and use Comments to ask the maker a question. A star rating is now required to post a review. The Comment section looks and works just like Reviews, just without the stars.

Fix

Badge Verification Reliability Improvements

We've improved our badge verification system to correctly detect the KittyLaunch badge across more types of websites. We've already fixed over 6 different edge cases where a website's tech stack was preventing the badge from being recognized.

Because the web is full of different setups, if you run into a product that still isn't being detected, please reach out to contact@kittylaunch.com and we'll take a look.
