Each upvote is weighted by account trust and decays over time. New launches get a guaranteed exposure window so the board isn't winner-take-all from minute one. We explain it; we don't game it.

Voice sample

The ranking must be trustworthy. Votes are weighted by account trust and decay over time. Coordinated voting is shadow-discounted, not banned — false positives hurt makers too.

A fair shot for every launch. Every new launch gets a visible exposure window. The board isn't won at minute one by whoever lined up the most friends.

Discussion beats applause. Comments and maker Q&A are first-class. A launch with 12 thoughtful comments matters more than a launch with 500 silent votes.

Makers own their launch page. It's a durable, linkable asset. Not a post that scrolls away.

How ranking works. Score = (trust-weighted votes) × (time-decay) + (comment signal). Today's board orders by score. Makers see both raw and counted votes for full transparency. Read the full rules →
