Week 12 Recap: Website Scanners, WordPress Speed Fixes and AI Terminal Agents

Your weekly roundup of fresh launches shaping how we work and build.

Week 12 kept the pace up: 228 products submitted, 82 went live, and 881 upvotes cast. The week 30 board holds 17 featured launches. The directory crossed 1,063 live products, 283 new builders joined, and domain rating hit 68, up from 65. Every landing page in this issue got a hand check before making the list.

This week's launches leaned into checking your own work before someone else finds the problem first: website scanners, a pair of WordPress speed tools, and terminal-native testing for AI coding agents. Hence the title.

New Features This Week ⚡

Four things shipped on Nick Launches this week, straight from the feed:

• The Tools page is now a Launch toolkit. Pick one of your launches in the sidebar and every tool works on that product from there: directory progress tracked per launch, the First Users report with the URL pre-filled, all 159 launch directories in one place, and the Submission Service plus GitHub.
• A rebuilt Tools UI. The reveal pulled RT24, the highest repost count the account has seen, on a simple rating question against the new screenshot.
• Per-product analytics. Every launched product now gets its own view tracking, a direct answer to "what does listing here actually get me."
• The Launch Wall. A new public page at /launch-wall showing every product whose builder worked through the 159-directory launch tracker, with the exact directories they shipped to. Real submissions, not vanity lists.

Swipe through all four below.

Two of these got their own post. The toolkit rebuild:

And the Launch Wall, the strongest positioning line of the week:
