Stage byAnt just got a major update

Stage byAnt has changed quite a bit since launch.

I’ve been working on making it feel more like a curated showcase for independent apps and developer tools, rather than just another directory.

Recent updates include:

• Project logos inside the Stage visual system

• Optional logos for new submissions

• Verified logo replacement/removal for makers

• “Why it caught our attention” editorial notes

• Clearer homepage positioning

• Improvements to sitemap freshness and crawl/indexing health

The goal is still the same: help useful independent projects get discovered without rankings, popularity contests, or pay-to-feature placement.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the new direction, especially the project logo treatment and editorial notes.
