@marc could we have something like pinned posts for things like product hunt launches (I know PH isn't great these days for indie devs but it's a nice boost)
I always upvote PH launches when I see them on X because it takes me a second and helps the makers but I would love to have something like pinned posts here/Telegram so we can all help each other a little
Of course, this might be risky for spam so maybe limit it to pro users (if needed)
Self-promotion in a community like WIP is a delicate issue. It's fine if it happens occasionally, but if you condone or even facilitate it too much it you quickly attract the wrong crowd ruining it for everybody.
That said, I do like the more general idea of "pinning" a post or somehow given more weight to one post or another.
I think dev.to has a feature where you can pay a small amount to promote a bulletin board post. It can be used for anything. From promoting your launch, posting a job listing, etc. It being paid means it's less likely to be abused I think. That's something we could explore.

Maybe it's not a perfect feature for WIP idk

yeah it has a risk of becoming spamming
but there is something, not really sure, like "new products" I always quickly just check them.
Maybe give people one shot a month to "boost" pin something to a launch board
I am not sure
