List Bulb 2.0: Founder Accounts and Discovery

List Bulb 1.0 proved the catalog loop. 2.0 (July 7, 2026) was about giving founders a home base and clearer ways to get found.

What changed

Accounts. Sign in with Google. Manage products in one place instead of hunting email threads.

Claims. If your product was already listed, you could claim it and take ownership.

Plans. Free, QuickPass, and Featured—so review priority and placement were explicit. Live details and dofollow counts are on pricing, not buried in a sales deck.

Homepage featured strip. Paid Featured products get a real surface, not only a row in search.

Launch directories hub. “Where else should I submit?” became a filterable checklist with DR and dofollow signals—see Launch directories. We also wrote a full best SaaS directories 2026 guide that uses that hub as the live source of truth.

Changelog. Public so shipping is visible without reading git history.
