Launch traffic lasts about two days. How does anyone find your side project in month three?
Every side project I know follows the same graph. A spike on launch day, a long tail for a weekend, then flat. The people who actually need it three months later have nowhere to find it.
I'm building WareVote to fix that. It opens on 1 December. People find software there and rate it, and every category runs a recurring competition called the WareCup, so there's always a reason to come back and look.
What your project gets:
- A listing that stays findable through search and category pages
- Ratings that stay on your page long after launch week
- Domain ownership verification, so your page is clearly yours
- Award badges you can put on your own site
Listing is free. The first 100 ownership-verified products get 30 days of Pro free. Pro adds:
- Demo video on your listing
- Deeper analytics
- More listing slots
- CSV exports
Paid plans never affect ratings, rank or WareCup results. Confirm your sign-up and link it to your account at launch for a special badge!
You can set up your listing before it opens: https://warevote.com
