SubmitMyStartup Tools (5)
find_directories
Shortlist places to submit or launch a startup (directories, launch sites, communities, editorial sites) that fit a founder's product and limits. Use it when someone asks where to list, launch, or promote their startup or product. Returns a ranked list: Free with no catch first, then free with a catch, then paid by lowest listed price, then cost not on record. Within each group: shortest wait, then fewest unknown facts, then name. Never ranked by my own traffic results. Each result gives the cost and catch (cost, free), what the free path needs (needs), the wait, why it fits (why), which facts the query needs that are not on record (unknown), the list's notes, when it was last checked, and rowUrl, the place's row on the website. Leave out any filter that doesn't matter. Use get_directory for every fact about one place, and list_filters for allowed values and example arguments.
get_directory
Every fact about one place on the list, for when a founder asks about a specific directory or launch site. Returns a short summary (cost and catch, what the free path needs, the wait, review, backlink, rowUrl), then the full record: the list's notes and Free? label, structured facts (cost, what it accepts, free-path requirements, wait, review, backlink), where each fact came from and when, the status of the maintainer's own attempt, and links. Look it up by id (from find_directories or search), name, or website URL.
