@sachinrekhi what we've found is that the more context provided, the more people gravitate toward a particular product. It's all about storytelling. "Here's a productivity-boosting app created by a 17 year-old, backed by a16z and currently the #1 most downloaded in the App Store" is a lot more interesting than "Here's a productivity-boosting app." To your point, adding quantitative metrics like App Store ranking helps tell a story. Incorporating articles, interviews, and 3rd party editorial from sites like TechCrunch can also help.
Taking this further, what other data sets or ways can we tell a better story?
