Yo earlies. ☼

It’s 2026, and we are so back!!! And I’ve got big plans for this year (more will be revealed with each newsletter that goes out every Sunday)

Welcome to the 41st edition of the weekly early.tools newsletter sent to over 2000+ readers with launch updates and 5x of the latest notable pre-launch startups every Monday. I am Julian Paul, and I will do my best to update you as tools move through Waitlist → MVP → Launched phases, so you don’t miss a thing in the early startup lifecycle of products that will (most likely) matter.

2026 → New early.tools Build

Introducing the New early.tools Homepage & Real-Time View, Click & Progress Tracking – here’s what's New:

1. Interactive Launch Timeline — Each tool now shows a progress bar from "added" to "launch date" with interactive dots marking milestones:

   1. When the tool was curated on early.tools

   2. When it went online

   3. Stage transitions (Waitlist → MVP → Launched)

   4. Launch announcements detected from X.com

   5. Website changes that triggered stage updates

On the tool detail page, hover or tap any dot to see what happened and when, with links to evidence – oh and of course views and click tracking for each listing!!!

2. Automated Stage Tracking — Tools now update automatically. Our system:

   1. Monitors landing pages daily for stage indicators

   2. Detects launch announcements on X.com

   3. Auto-updates stages with high confidence (or suggests changes for review)

   4. Maintains a complete timeline of every changes

3. Enhanced Homepage — Browse featured tools at the top, then explore curated tools below. Filter by stage (Waitlist, MVP, Launched), platform, and more.

The Result: See the full journey of each tool from discovery to launch, with automatic updates and a clear visual timeline.
