Suggestions: Adding the link to the referral page to get your link for each site would help the onboarding process tremendously. Some of the entries ask for a code, some ask for a link. Should this be consistent?

@etc Great suggestion. That’s high on my list. I’ve actually been keeping track of those links as I’ve added the services so it won’t take too long to add when I get to it. Some services use codes, some use links, and some use both. For now, the easiest way to add most is to just paste your referral link in the search box (as opposed to using the “Add your referral link/code” link). Check out the GIF (last screenshot) here on Product Hunt for a demo. I do need to make that feature more discoverable. Also, as I add more services I’m learning what styles (code/link/code and link) are most used.

@etc FYI, there are now instructions on where to find your referral code/link for each service and several include direct links to the page where you can find it. Just choose the "Add your referral code/link" link on the page of the service you'd like to add. Should massively speed up onboarding. I've got a few more onboarding optimizations coming soon.

Very much a work in progress. Would love to hear your feedback as well as what services you’d like to see added. I’m working on adding several more. It’s actually been surprising to see just how many services use referral codes/links these days.

@jeffbowen very cool idea. Simple, yet effective. What's the plan for expanding affiliate Services available?

@calebsylvest Thanks! For now, it’s just seeing which services people most want added (from links pasted in the search box and from PH/Facebook/Twitter discussion) and adding a few features to support some of the edge cases I’ve discovered in how certain services do their referral links/codes.

The Friend You Never Had

@jeffbowen Other ways to create an account on the horizon?

@ryannegri Yep. Getting started (and for simplicity), Facebook made the most sense so that everyone has their friends there by default. Curious, what would be your preferred method and why?

Happy to see a service like this one available to everybody. Indeed, I used to build something similar on my own website or via an Airtable Spreadsheet but this domain and the design both look very cool! However, the Facebook login/signup is a real bummer as I do not want an account with them. Can you at least provide Twitter signup? Thanks :)

@juliens_me Thanks! Sorry. Yeah, I’d love to add Twitter login down the road.

Really cool idea. Two thoughts: 1) Are you looking to expand to other social networks? I don't have FB and it sucks not being able to sign-up. Twitter would be great. 2) Do you think there's any risk of Uber etc getting wise to this and trying to shut you down?

@mulhollandtweet Thanks for the feedback! I do hope to add some alternative sign up options soon. Getting started FB-only made sense for simplicity and help make sure that people easily found their friends. I don’t think Uber or anyone would want to shut this down as it helps people discover their service *and* shows them which friends are already using it which seems it would majorly lower the barrier to signing up. It’s really no different than sharing your referral code/link on Facebook or Twitter (which they encourage). ReferCodes is just helping make them more discoverable. You already can search “uber referral code” on Facebook or Twitter and find several. On ReferCodes, it’s clear that each referral code is someone’s personal code and not masquerading as a generic sign up offer.

Neat Idea! Quick question: Say in Australia, our Uber codes are different than the US codes (as in the offering is different). Is there a way to 'edit' the deal so it applies to countries outside Australia, rather than simply having the default option for US?

@richard_liu1 Great question. Would love to get that working. For now, the most helpful thing you could do is paste your referral link in the search box on ReferCodes. That way I'll be able to reserach the Uber Australia deal, try to get it added, and can notify you once I do.

Ha! I see myself using this as I maintain a long list of cool services and app referrals on Dropbox Paper. This is neat and clean. Btw, consider adding Amazon (with multiple country support), DigitalOcean, Honey etc. to the list of supported services.

@binoyxj Thanks! Great ideas and service suggestions. Adding them to my list. Would love to see your Dropbox Paper list if you're willing to share (maybe message it to http://m.me/refercodesapp?).

@jeffbowen Not sure if I can share, it's a mess with personal notes in it. Btw, I've already shared many cool websites via search and Messenger. So, consider adding them pro-actively.

@binoyxj No worries. Yeah, I've got a big list of services to start adding once I get a couple more features in. Stay tuned. Thanks!

@JeffBowen - we tried something similar with https://www.producthunt.com/post... - we had some great initial user-interest but the long-term vision wasn't really panning out over the first few months. We eventually retired the project. We have info on hundreds of referral programs. I'm happy to send over any assets that we have if you think it'll help. Best of luck!
