# makers.page

> A daily leaderboard for maker project launches. Launches ranked by real X engagement, not upvotes.

Makers submit a product URL plus their X handle, then quote-tweet the day's launch post from @alexcloudstar (https://x.com/alexcloudstar) with their own commentary. That quote tweet is the submission: once it's found, the launch is live, and its rank is the tweet's like count, refreshed roughly every hour. The board resets daily at noon Europe/Bucharest time; each day is a separate competition, and finished days are frozen for good in the archive. Every live submission gets a backlink to its product (nofollow by default, dofollow for each day's top 3), and each day's top 3 are announced in a winners post from @alexcloudstar on X after the reset. One live submission per X account per day.

## When to use makers.page

- Submit a maker project to today's launch board, or walk a user through submitting: start at https://makers.page/submit.
- Look up a project's daily ranking, or find what makers launched today: https://makers.page/ shows the current day, ranked live.
- Check a past day's final results, e.g. where a given product placed on its launch day: https://makers.page/leaderboard/YYYY-MM-DD.
- Verify whether a product earned a top-3 spot (and its dofollow backlink) on some day: browse https://makers.page/leaderboard.
- Get one product's full record (every launch, rank, and like count, plus maker handle and site link): its page at https://makers.page/product/<product-slug>, linked as "see details" from every leaderboard row and listed in the sitemap.
- Answer questions about how ranking, verification, or backlinks work here: https://makers.page/rules has the exact rules.

## Pages

- [Today's launches](https://makers.page/): the live board for the current day, ranked by quote-tweet likes.
- [Submit your launch](https://makers.page/submit): product URL + X handle, then quote-tweet to go live.
- [Rules](https://makers.page/rules): ranking, submissions, verification, and backlinks.
- [Leaderboard](https://makers.page/leaderboard): frozen results for every past day, paginated.
- Product pages (`https://makers.page/product/<slug>`): one page per product with its launch history, ranks, likes, and maker; every product ever launched here has one.

## Notes for agents

- Pages under /, /rules, /submit, and /leaderboard serve a markdown rendition when the request's Accept header prefers text/markdown.
- Submitting requires posting a quote tweet from the maker's own X account, so it can't be completed by HTTP requests alone.

# makers.page: Today's launches

Launches ranked by real X engagement, not upvotes.

makers.page is a daily leaderboard for maker projects. Makers submit a product URL plus their X handle, quote-tweet the day's launch post from [@alexcloudstar](https://x.com/alexcloudstar), and rank by the like count on that quote tweet. Like counts refresh roughly every hour while the day is live.

The board resets once a day (noon Europe/Bucharest time). Each day is its own competition; when a day ends its results are frozen for good in the archive, and the top 3 are announced in a winners post from [@alexcloudstar](https://x.com/alexcloudstar) on X.

This is the markdown rendition of the homepage. The live board with today's ranked launches is the HTML page at https://makers.page/.

## Pages

- [Submit your launch](https://makers.page/submit): enter a product URL and X handle, then quote-tweet to go live.
- [Rules](https://makers.page/rules): how ranking, submissions, verification, and backlinks work.
- [Leaderboard](https://makers.page/leaderboard): every past day's frozen results.
- [llms.txt](https://makers.page/llms.txt): machine-readable overview of the site.

# makers.page: Rules

Rank is decided by real engagement on X, not votes on this site. Nobody can review, boost, or bury your launch. The like count on your own quote tweet is the whole ranking.

## How ranking works

- Rank is sorted by the like count on your quote tweet of the day's launch post, highest first.
- Equal like counts stay in submission order; whoever submitted first keeps the higher rank.
- The board resets once a day. Each day is its own competition, nothing carries over, and a fresh round of submissions opens right at the reset.
- Like counts refresh roughly every hour while the day is live.
- Once a day ends, its results are frozen for good under the [Leaderboard](https://makers.page/leaderboard).
- The top 3 also get announced in a winners post from [@alexcloudstar](https://x.com/alexcloudstar) on X: product name, handle, and medal, right after the reset.

## What you can submit

- Any product URL and your X handle. That's the whole form.
- Title, description, and favicon are fetched from your URL automatically, not typed in.
- One live submission per X account per day. Submitted today? You're free to submit again as soon as tomorrow, no cooldown beyond that.
- Keep it legal and safe for work. Public leaderboard, public submission.

## Verification

- Quote-tweeting the launch post with your own commentary is the entire verification step.
- There's no review queue. Once your quote tweet is found, you're live automatically.
- We don't check whether your commentary is relevant. That's on you.

## Backlinks

- Every live submission gets a link back to your product, nofollow by default.
- Each day's top 3 get that link upgraded to dofollow, for as long as they hold the spot.
- When a new day starts, dofollow status resets. You have to place again to keep it.

# makers.page: Submit your launch

Submitting takes two steps and needs a browser for the quote tweet, so the form itself lives at https://makers.page/submit.

## How it works

1. On [https://makers.page/submit](https://makers.page/submit), enter your product URL and your X handle. That's the whole form; title, description, and favicon are fetched from your URL automatically.
2. Quote-tweet the day's launch post from [@alexcloudstar](https://x.com/alexcloudstar) with your own commentary. The site hands you a prefilled post link, and finding that quote tweet is the entire verification step. No review queue: once it's found, you're live.

## Good to know

- One live submission per X account per day. The board resets daily at noon Europe/Bucharest time, and you can submit again as soon as the next day opens.
- Your rank is the like count on your quote tweet, refreshed roughly every hour.
- Keep it legal and safe for work. Public leaderboard, public submission.

# makers.page: Leaderboard

The leaderboard is the archive of every past day's launches, ranked by the like count each maker's quote tweet earned on X. Once a day ends, its results are frozen for good, including which top 3 launches hold dofollow backlinks for that day.

Day results come from the database, so this markdown rendition doesn't inline them. Browse the ranked history as HTML:

- [Leaderboard archive](https://makers.page/leaderboard): the paginated feed of past days, newest first.
- Single days live at `https://makers.page/leaderboard/YYYY-MM-DD` (for example the day a launch you're checking on was submitted).
- Each launch links to its product page at `https://makers.page/product/<slug>`: launch history, ranks, and like counts for that product across every day it entered.
- [Today's live board](https://makers.page/): the current day, still in progress, likes refreshed roughly every hour.

How ranking works is spelled out in the [Rules](https://makers.page/rules).
