Ranking Indie Hacker projects by the quality of their descriptions.

Hey,

I recently launched Fifty, and I was searching for a key metric to rank projects on the site. The essence of Fifty is project descriptions, so that's the metric I chose.

I introduced Project Scores 💎

A project's score is the quality of its description weighed against the length - so the shorter the description, and the better it explains the project, the higher the score.

Here's some example of the top scorers:

Amazon 2.0 by @nosduh with a score of 💎237

Email on your schedule by @rikki with a score of 💎195

Storify your website with a score of 💎188

Web Scraping Proxy API by @eventezycom with a score of 💎180

The scores range all the way down to 3, so these projects and their makers have done an amazing job. Go check out some other awesome indie hacker projects and their scores or add your own to see where you rank.

Cheers,
