It does explain itself. However, it's not self-evident, and the explanations had to be sought by me. I go on the site, and the only thing I can guess from the name and percentage-ordered list of some products is, that it's an ordered project list.
But I had questions and only found them after doing "relatively" much research (speaking in terms of average internet user with short attention span):
How does it order the projects? (after reading the about page I understood it's growth based)
What's the "community" of a project?
How do I participate?
Other questions that I also have:
Why should I care as a product maker?
Why should I care as a no-product-maker? Also, if I can't care as a non-product-maker, I won't probably care as a product maker, cause I'm not interested to get eyes on my projects of people who are unlikely to use it cause they're way too busy doing their own stuff.
Why is daily relative growth rate a good metric to sort those projects?
PS.: Segments pie chart makes simple numbers look complicated IMHO
PPS.: The page layout somehow makes me think I'm on a gambling/scam/advertising site or smth, not sure. Probably cause it's dark + has projects arranged kinda banner like
"How does it order the projects? (after reading the about page I understood it's growth based)"
I changed this now to daily follower growth instead of a percentage. I hope this will make it more clear.
"What's the "community" of a project?"
This has changed to "followers" because it was indeed confusing and the wrong way to name it.
"How do I participate?"
There is a page where you can submit your startup. But this could be much more promoted on the homepage. I am thinking of using some of the 'cells' to add some call to actions.
"Why should I care as a product maker?" & "Why should I care as a no-product-maker?"
This one is my favourite because it is damn hard to answer. It is a chicken vs egg indeed, and when product makers don't care about it, it will not work. Of course, it is about free eyeballs for the makers, and hopefully, none-makers find it interesting to discover new projects. When it works, it could be interesting for investors and have educational value.
"Why is daily relative growth rate a good metric to sort those projects?"
The main idea is to give early-stage projects a leg up. With percentage growth this is possible, and they will benefit, but also make space for new projects. If 'new followers' would be the metric, the bigger ones will always end on top. You can win crowns and get promoted on the leaderboard, so it becomes a competition where the smaller ones most likely win. Kind of a gamification/ gimmick, but hopefully fun and motivating.

Thank you! I am going to fix this asap.

Very good and I can see this now. Also, the logos make it a bit too commercial maybe? Going to play with this a bit.
Thanks so much, Maxim, really great questions and helpful.
