Not your average landing page

The product looks cool, it's a neat idea.

But... you're forgetting that PH can have people jump straight in because most people who would use PH already know what it is and what it's all about.

You don't have that luxury yet.

I suspect when PH first launched they would've had a more traditional website that explained what it was. Obviously now they don't need that as much.

But you do. So I'd consider not removing that element entirely.

Imo, as a startup founder I am super busy for those games.
I am in competition with everyone tho, I don't need someone in particular to 'overcome'.

Btw how do you verify the income? Can I put just random insane numbers, and always be #1?

designer here :))

• love that you went straight into what it is!

• the 'welcome to sprint' section can afford to take up a little bit more height to use it to explain what it is. also make the subheading more noticeable than your usual paragraph text, but less visual emphasis than the header. at a glance, i miss the subheading , so i end up not knowing why i even need this tool.

• know the people read from left to right. that's why most leaderboards have the rank on the left so that it reads better e.g. '#1 [company] [price]'. obviously this changes depending on what you want to emphasise.

• the '1st place, $415, and revenue this week' box has a lot of information in it (and also forces you to scan horizontally, breaking the vertical flow of [logo] [company] [info]. use other ways to convey 1st/2nd/3rd place (e.g. gold, silver, bronze borders? blow up the emoji and move it to the left? make a gold/silver/bronze sticker to stick on the top left corner? etc etc)

• try get rid of repeating text where possible. 'top startups THIS WEEK' and 'revenue THIS WEEK' ask yourself if you really need it twice, and if so why?

• random #buildinpublic doesn't tell me much - are you trying to direct people to that hashtag? or is it for other people who are building in pubic? either way, doesn't signal anything, and based off contextual things close to the hashtag, i actually can't tell either

• why is sprint at the bottom if its making $66 this week? technically it should be second. from an ordering perspective it makes no sense, and feels like it just got thrown on without much thought. i think it's a good idea to put yourselves on the list too!! however, i'd wait for more companies to sign up and be submitted first.

if u have any other q's feel free to dm me on twitter @angehyc - happy designing, you're doing great :))

Try to put more information about Sprint on the website.

Literally, anyone visiting your website would know nothing about what Sprint does.

Make the leaderboard look like a table so that it feels like there is a competition going on among startups.

Your site needs to look more attractive as well.

Make it look like a leaderboard if that's the goal

Right now the page tells me almost nothing

A leaderboard would just have a name, place and amount

Than it's clear it a competition

And you can name the leaderboard

Revenue challenge - Sprint 1

Or something that gives it meaning

But generally that might be something hard to maintain interest in for new people as momentum would keep top players in the top with little chance for new comers

It's up to you to get rules that make it interesting and engaging...

In a way IH tried to have something like that I believe in one of the older versions, the project search had/has a sort by revenue...
