Show HN: Zarek - Agent that writes launch copy and verifies directory listings

Hey HN,

I built Zarek (http://zarek.tech/) because most launch checklists hand you a raw list of 500 directories and leave you to write everything and track status manually.

Zarek takes your product URL, extracts your positioning, builds a 6-phase launch schedule, drafts platform-specific copy (Show HN, Reddit, X, Product Hunt, directories), and checks whether submissions actually go live.

The technical parts:
1. Listing verification: Submissions to directories fail silently all the time. Sites return a 200 OK but drop the listing into a dead moderation queue or soft-404. We run headless browser workers that fetch and render the target URLs, inspect the DOM to verify the listing is public, and alert you in a daily briefing if something gets dropped.
2. Venue-specific constraints: Writing for HN requires a completely different vocabulary and structure than writing a directory blurb or an X thread. We enforce strict negative constraints on copy generation (banning hype adjectives, marketing frameworks, and generic filler) and format specifically for each venue.
3. Bot-filtered click analytics: Most raw referral tracking from launch directories is heavily skewed by scrapers. We filter out known datacenter IPs and crawler signatures to give cleaner visit counts per channel.

Current limitations:
Community matching for Reddit is tricky. Subreddit rules and subcultures change frequently, and automated tone calibration can still miss the mark on cynical subreddits. Because of this, Zarek generates drafts for you to edit and post yourself rather than auto-submitting. Also, aggressive Cloudflare challenges on a few directory sites can occasionally block our verification crawler.

I would love feedback on two things:
1. How do you currently evaluate which niche directories or communities are worth submitting to?
2. What channel-specific rules or formatting constraints would you want added to the generator?
