Reached #5 Globally on Pioneer.app!
by Travis FischerIt's our 4th week on the Pioneer platform, we're fully bootstrapped, and we just reached #5 on the Global leaderboard.
Week 0: Unranked
Week 1: Unranked
Week 2: #40 in US East
Week 3: #30 Globally
Week 4: #5 Globally
I've really enjoyed the process so far, especially giving & receiving feedback from other founders and indie hackers. 💯
I've definitely noticed a few familiar IH names on Pioneer. 👋
If anyone has questions about the process (so far) or wants specific advice, feel free to ask & I'll try to help.
Cheers,
-- Travis

Congrats!
I'm not too familiar with Pioneer. How do they calculate the score on the leaderboard?

Yeah, so every week all the active participants submit an update along w/ a brief company description.
And then you're given 10 comparisons that are all A vs B style, with A and B both being companies & their respective updates.
You vote on whether A > B or B > A for up to 10 comparisons.
Your votes are weighted higher the higher up the ladder you are.
And these distributed pair-wise comparisons allow Pioneer to objectively sort all the companies into global and regional leaderboards.
I love the pair-wise comparisons. Straight out of the Computer Science 101 playbook 💪

Thanks for explaining, that's very interesting. I may need to give Pioneer a try at some point.
Congrats again on your progress so far!
