Hi Product Hunt! I’m the maker of Congrid.

Congrid helps independent websites connect with readers through recommendations on related member sites. The idea is to make content discovery and publisher participation easier to understand and maintain.

For publishers, the workflow is to register a domain, add the Congrid member badge to the homepage, and keep the site verified. Content similarity supports recommendations across member websites. For people who want to help operate the network, the native Linux/macOS verifier stack checks participating homepages and submits evidence.

The code is open source, and the documentation covers both roles. Publishers and verifiers can earn protocol rewards under the network rules; rewards, referral traffic, and organic search rankings are separate outcomes. The product is free to use; verifier participation involves a bond and transaction fees.

I'd appreciate feedback on three things:

• Is the publisher onboarding clear enough to follow?

• What would make a cross-site recommendation useful to your readers?

• What information would you want before joining as a publisher or verifier?

Thanks for taking a look!
