Today: 103 active builders. 54 shipped projects. A marketplace that's actually moving.

No paid ads. No big network. Just one bet every dev marketplace rewards storytelling. We'd reward shipping.

The premise

Ran a full SEO audit on my project today. Found out Google had 39 pages stuck in "Discovered not indexed."

What I fixed:

• Switched profile pages from force-dynamic to ISR caching

• Converted my AI agent page from client to server component so crawlers can actually see it

• Added schema markup (BreadcrumbList, Person, Organization, SoftwareApplication)

• Removed unoptimized images, enabled AVIF/WebP

• Added an About page for E-E-A-T signals

• Updated sitemap with all missing pages

Resubmitted the sitemap, checked Search Console, down to 2 not-indexed pages now. Ranking dipped temporarily but from what I've read that's normal after big changes.

Hey! Quick building-in-public update on what we shipped today:

- Privacy Policy & Terms of Service pages (finally legit)

- Collapsible FAQ on the homepage cleaner, less clutter

- AI-friendly setup so ChatGPT, Perplexity & Claude can discover and recommend us

Vibe Score overhaul We completely rebuilt how developer scores work. Every verified GitHub user now starts with a baseline score of 10. Project endorsements actually count now (+5 per endorsement). And we added a weekly quality rescoring cron that re-analyzes your GitHub repos automatically so if your project gains stars, contributors, or commits, your score goes up without you doing anything. Projects also auto-verify on upload when your GitHub username matches the repo owner. No more manual "verify" clicks.

Smart pagination Explore and leaderboard pages now have proper pagination with ellipsis, first/last jump buttons, and a "Go to page" input. No more scrolling through 80+ builders.

Mobile experience Top Talent and Featured Projects sections now scroll horizontally on mobile with snap-to-card swiping. Notification bell and profile avatar are visible on the mobile navbar. The whole mobile experience feels native now.

Display names + GitHub verification You can now set a display name (separate from username). If you signed up with GitHub OAuth, you get a blue verified checkmark across the platform profiles, leaderboard, explore cards, everywhere.

shipped a bunch of updates today:

featured projects with usdc on base

mandatory socials

Most developer portfolios are static you add your projects once and that's it. No reason to come back.

We just shipped a Live Feed on VibeTalent that changes that. It's a unified activity stream showing everything happening across the builder community:

• GitHub commits & PRs merged

• New projects shipped (with tech stack and live links)

• Daily coding streaks (30+ day milestones get highlighted)

• New builders joining the platform
