An "upvote each other" community
I'm thinking of building a community service where you can register your product and, when its time for your launch, have a group of fellow indiehackers upvote it on PH/HN/Reddit etc, to help you get that much needed exposure.
In exchange, you must return the favor and upvote them when they launch.
What do you think?
I'm pondering how to:
- ensure upvotes actually happen
- validate upvotes in exchange for other upvotes
- incentivize users
You get shadowbanned if you do it on HN and reddit.
PH you can just launch on IHs and most will see.
Can you explain this part in more detail?
Be careful, this is called "voting rings" and is typically either against the guidelines or in some cases detected by the the platform and will hurt you more than it'll help you.
If you decide to continue on with this idea, would you need help with design? Do one of my themes on BuildFaster still appeal to you?
