Roadmap reference
Phase 6 — Launch day.
docs/launch-announcement.mdhas all the copy (DRAFT status, pending RapidAPI URLs).Problem
docs/launch-announcement.mdcontains ready-to-publish copy for Hacker News, Reddit, Twitter/X, and Dev.to — but there is no tracking issue to actually publish the announcements on launch day. The copy is gated on RapidAPI listing URLs from issue #44 (and #161 for VIN Decoder).What the operator must do
After leeworks-agents/api-company#166 (pre-launch checklist) passes:
Fill in the RapidAPI URL placeholders in
docs/launch-announcement.md:[RAPIDAPI_ZIP_URL]→ ZIP Code Enrichment API listing URL[RAPIDAPI_HOLIDAYS_URL]→ Holidays API listing URL[RAPIDAPI_AQI_URL]→ Air Quality Index API listing URL[RAPIDAPI_PROFILE_URL]→ Your RapidAPI provider profile URLPost to each channel using the copy in
docs/launch-announcement.md:Monitor and respond to comments/questions for the first 24–48 hours.
Update STATUS.md MRR column once first paid subscribers arrive.
Acceptance criteria
docs/launch-announcement.mdplaceholders replaced with real RapidAPI URLsDependencies
Note
This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot post to social media or HN.

All agent-side prerequisites are in place (launch-announcement.md committed). This issue is blocked on: (1) #166 pre-launch checklist passing, (2) RapidAPI URLs from #44 and #161, (3) PayPal linked (#19). No agent action possible until the operator completes those dependencies and fills in the placeholder URLs. Leaving open for operator.
🔒 Operator task — blocked on prerequisites. This is a manual action (publishing to social media / Hacker News) that the agent cannot perform. Prerequisites still outstanding: #166 (pre-launch checklist), #44/#161 (RapidAPI URLs), #19 (PayPal). No agent action possible until operator completes those.
