About this template
We’re Live — Free Launch Day Announcement Post Template
We're Live is a free launch-day post template for Product Hunt launches, app store releases, Kickstarter campaigns and livestreams. Huge condensed "We're live on" type sits above the platform name in the accent colour, with the date and a one-line ask for support underneath, all on bold diagonal stripes.
Loud by design
Launch day is not the time for subtle. The platform name is set in Bebas Neue at a massive size, and the diagonal stripes, a CSS repeating-linear-gradient in the accent colour at 16% opacity, add energy without needing an image. The default black, white and coral palette echoes Product Hunt's colours, and you can change it in one click.
One clear ask
The footer, separated by a thick accent rule, has the date ("Today · Nov 18") and a single call to action ("Your upvote helps us reach more makers"). One request per post converts better than a list.
Any platform, any launch
Change the platform field to "the App Store", "Kickstarter", "YouTube" or "Twitch". Long names shrink automatically to fit the width. For livestreams, change the first line to "We're live now on".
Launch week workflow
Build anticipation with Countdown, announce the product with Product Launch, post this on the day, and close with Milestone. All four sizes are included, so the landscape version suits X and the Story version suits Instagram.

Frequently Asked Questions
Open We're Live, keep "Product Hunt" as the platform, set the date and your upvote ask, then download the landscape size for X and the portrait or Story size for LinkedIn and Instagram.

The stripes use the accent colour, so changing the accent recolours them. To remove or restyle them, fork the template to My Code and edit the .l-stripes CSS.
Make one clear request, such as an upvote, a download, a backing or "join the stream", and keep it under about 60 characters.
