Votes, visits, and ranking

All topics

The board

Updated 6 September 2026

Each signed-in account gets one vote per product, and only after visiting the product’s website through YStartUps.

How to vote

  1. Open the product page or a board row.
  2. Use Visit. That records a click and unlocks the vote for your account.
  3. Vote. You can remove the vote later; you cannot stack extra votes from the same account.

How ranking works

Products on a week are ordered by votes, with a stable alphabetical tie-break. The site talks about a first-day equal-exposure window so newcomers are not buried in hour one — ranking itself is still by votes. When the Monday window closes, that week’s official leaderboard freezes.

Traction in Analytics is a weighted mix of votes, comments, clicks, and page views for the window you picked.
