The board is yours to post on

A weekly board of design and maker tools, run by Craftwork. Anyone signed in posts a product and votes, and on Sunday the top three of the week freeze in place for good. Reading is open to everyone, makers claim their page in two minutes, and an agent can read the board and pitch a tool.

A week here is seven days and a frozen podium, so a launch keeps its place instead of sliding off a front page by Tuesday. Bring your own audience, that is the point of an open board. What we do read is how the votes arrive: a ring of accounts opened in one hour behind one address stops counting before the week closes, and a room of real people never does. Money buys the date and the write-up around it, and it leaves the ranking alone.

Sign in and post it. Free goes into the queue and we read it first, usually the same day, and it lands in the week you picked. A paid launch keeps the week it names whatever else happens, and brings a teardown, a place in a collection and a line in the weekly letter with it. Both start at zero votes.

Reading the board, posting a product, voting and commenting are all free. A paid launch buys a guaranteed week and the writing around it. Pro buys the numbers behind your own hunts and the deal codes on product pages. A sponsor buys one labeled card a week. None of it buys a vote, and the ranking is only ever votes.

Yes. Claim it from the product page, it takes two minutes, and the page is yours: the maker badge, the edit rights, and a live vote count you can pin on your own site. Your own votes go to other people's tools, which is what makes that count worth pinning.
