Placements

Five ways to reach builders here

Everything on this page is a position on the page — never a change to the ranking, never a pop-up, never a tracker. Each one is bought once and it ends when it ends: no subscription, no renewal, no card kept on file. Every slot is open, because nothing has been sold yet.

On audience numbers

We do not publish reader or visitor counts, because the board is new and any number we printed today would be more marketing than fact. Ask before you buy and we send you the real figures for the week you are buying — screenshots, not a claim.

Who holds the slots

Every placement is named on the page it appears on. Nothing here is disguised as editorial, and nothing changes where a product ranks.

A placement is bought for a listing, so sign in and we will show you yours. If the product is not on the board yet, submit it first — that part is free.

House rules

  • Ranking is never for sale

    Trending is upvotes, notes and views, decayed by age. A paid slot cannot move it.

  • Everything is labelled

    If it was paid for, the page says so, in the same type as everything else.

  • One sponsor at a time

    No slot is ever doubled up, and there is no third-party ad network.

  • Products only

    We take placements from things builders can use. Not crypto, not courses about courses.

  • You write your own words

    The only copy we agree in advance is the newsletter's forty words, and you see the issue before it goes out.

  • Buy it in a minute

    Featured, category, board and launch posts are bought on the spot with a card. Nothing to request, nobody to wait for.
