That is a great comment. I did start this to "scratch my own itch" as you say, because I could not find what I wanted/needed. Specifically it is very difficult to get multiple rounds of feedback on a site at places like HackerNews.
I do not think web startups in the launch phase is that much of a niche. There are often times 20 "Ask HN: Review xxx site" posts on here a week and that's just on HN. I'd be perfectly happy with just those 20!
I fully agree that the site owners may not have much reason to return to launchly after their launch is over and they no longer need feedback BUT new launches are constantly happening. A (hopefully) big audience for launches will be web development shops that are constantly putting out client web applications. They would be able to include a launchly launch as part of their "package" to the client.
I think the returning visits will be from the "general audience" that is just interested in seeing the latest web apps and having a chance to give their valuable input... just like people do here on HN.
Thank you for your thoughts!
