Scoring & Featuring Algorithm
How we assess quality, measure community engagement, and feature top tech launches.
Overview
IndiHunt values builders who create complete, accessible, and high-quality launches. Our algorithms calculate scores based on two metrics: **Quality Score** (how detailed and complete your listing is) and **Engagement Score** (how the community interacts with your launch).
