Every founder knows this feeling.
You ship something you’re proud of… and then nothing happens. No traffic, no feedback, no signal. Not because the product is bad, but because visibility is broken.
Most platforms don’t actually solve this.
Big feeds reward whoever already has an audience. Rankings amplify what’s already popular. New or niche products get buried instantly.
So I built something different.
Instead of feeds and lists, people discover startups one at a time.
You see a single product, decide if it’s interesting, and move on. No comparison, no scrolling, no pressure.
If users genuinely engage with a startup, it naturally rises into daily, weekly, and monthly tops. Not based on hype or launch-day traffic, but on real interaction over time.
Why I think this works:
Every startup actually gets seen
Attention is focused, not diluted
Rankings emerge from behavior, not popularity contests
It’s completely free for founders, and I’m opening a pre-launch where early projects can be added before public browsing goes live.

I’d honestly love feedback from this community.
Does this solve a real problem for you as a founder? What would you change or add to make it truly valuable?
This resonates a lot — the “no one sees my startup” problem is rarely about product quality and almost always about distribution mechanics.
I like the idea of single-startup discovery instead of feeds. Removing comparison pressure is interesting.
One thing I’m curious about:
how do you prevent passive swiping from becoming the new popularity signal?
(e.g. quick skips vs real intent)
Have you thought about weighting actions like time-on-page, outbound clicks, or return visits differently?
Curious how you’re defining “meaningful engagement” early on.
