"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.
"Segments pie chart makes simple numbers look complicated IMHO"
Thank you! I am going to fix this asap.
"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"
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.
Thank you Maxim, so valuable and clear!
