How it works

The simplest way to launch and discover great products.

AppBoard is a community-powered product leaderboard for creators. Submit your product, collect votes, build your reputation — all in the open, without gatekeepers.

The flow

From idea to launch in five steps

Step 01 · Discover

Discover products that matter

Browse the live leaderboard, updated daily. Filter by category, use case, or platform to find exactly what you need. Every product is ranked by an open, transparent score built from real community engagement — no pay-to-win, no gatekeepers.

Step 03 · Vote

The community votes on launch day

Every logged-in user gets one vote per product (up to a daily cap). Votes cast early carry the most weight — so your first hours are critical. Share your listing across social and communities to build momentum.

Step 04 · Reputation

Build your creator reputation

Reputation is earned by engaging with the community — upvoting, commenting, reviewing, following, and favoriting other products (each capped daily). It accumulates across everything you ship, shows on your creator profile, and adds a small, bounded bonus to your products' ranking.

Step 05 · Amplify

Amplify with promotion

Want more eyes on your launch? Promoted products appear in dedicated featured rows across the home page and leaderboard — clearly labelled as sponsored. Promotion is purely additive and never inflates your organic rank.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you launch.

Yes — account creation, product submission, and voting are all free. Promoted placement is the only paid option.

Absolutely. Every product gets its own listing and PBS, while your reputation is cumulative across all of them.

Share your AppBoard listing link on social media, in newsletters, and in Slack/Discord communities. Recent upvotes count for the most, so votes cast in the first few hours carry the highest weight.

No. Promotion gives you incremental visibility in dedicated sponsored rows. Your ranking is determined by real community engagement, with recent activity weighted more — promotion never inflates it.
