ProjectArena - Feedback, reputation & tournaments for builders

by•
ProjectArena is where developers & indie founders publish projects, get real feedback (not just likes), and build reputation as helpful feedback earns coins. Level up Member → Middle → Senior → Lead Expert, invite teammates, post updates, and join tournaments — free or paid entry, real prize pools, revenue share for senior+ experts. Core loop is live; next up: realtime updates and growing our first user cohort.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built ProjectArena because I kept seeing devs and founders post their projects for validation and get nothing but emoji reactions back. The idea: make useful feedback count — helpful replies earn the feedback-giver coins, and consistently helpful feedback builds a real expert reputation (with a leveling system: Member → Middle → Senior → Lead Expert). On top of that, we added tournaments — teams can enter for free or for a real entry fee, competing for a prize pool, and senior-level experts on the platform get a share of tournament revenue. Right now the core product is live: publishing, feedback + coins, team invites, project updates, profiles/achievements, and tournaments with payments. Next on the roadmap is realtime updates and growing our first cohort of real projects. Would love your thoughts — especially if you've ever shipped something and wished the feedback you got was actually useful. Happy to answer anything below 🙌

Curious how the coin system actually translates into anything tangible for someone just starting out with zero reputation — like can you cash out small amounts early, or is there a minimum threshold before it becomes worth the time invested in giving feedback?
