Startups Leaderboards - Can you make $1,000?

Marc, lots of folks are already using services like Indie Hackers or Product Hunt to showcase their startups, this seems like another spin on that concept, I do wonder though if adding a game-like element really brings enough value to differentiate it, also, the $1000 goal seems arbitrary, would be interesting to know if you have any plans to add features that truly stand out or if it's just about climbing leaderboards, thoughts?

Very cool idea! A tool for healthy competition

Marc not sure people want ANOTHER startup leaderboard, feels like it's just a vanity project, Indie developers want tools that help them, not ones that just rank them, maybe put more effort into adding real value instead of turning everything into a game 🧐

I am a loyal user of this, bring me a lot of traffic. Thank u Marc for making it!

Good insight to see what the true PMF products are. Congrats on launch!

Hey Marc, I gotta say, while the whole idea of competing with other solo developers sounds exciting, kinda feels a bit like a high school popularity contest, any thoughts on how to make it more about skill and less about who's got the most social followers? and also, have you considered adding some sort of mentorship feature for newcomers who might find the competition part a bit daunting? cheers 🏆

Congrats Marc. I will join the leaderboard any time soon Amazing design!

Hey Marc, stumbled upon this while browsing, interesting concept but isn’t the leaderboard approach a bit too competitive maybe thinking about adding some collaborative features, like team challenges or mentorships curious to see how it evolves

Found this while scrolling, not sure if showing off earnings like this is really motivating or kinda stressful, adding some more features could make it feel less like just another competition, thoughts?

Hey Marc found this while scrolling randomly, I've got to say, feels kinda like a gimmick eh, isn't this just another leaderboard game like ProductHunt or Makerlog, I see what you're going for but don't you think the whole "connect your Stripe" thing might push people away, lotsa folks are touchy about giving access to financial data, anyway, interesting idea, but maybe think about a less invasive way to gamify it?
