ShareThe.codes

Excited to launch this small side-project I've been working on! Whenever I sign up for a new app or service, I know I'm leaving benefits on the table by not using a referral code to get some new-user discount. Likewise, I know I have dozens of referral codes collecting dust because I don't have a great way to share them with interested customers. Right now, the only way to find referral codes for services you're interested in joining is to dig through cluttered subreddit threads or create accounts on spammy websites full of ad-trackers and pop-ups. For submitters, most codes are never noticed by users unless you're lucky enough to be the first or last post in a forum thread. ShareThe.codes is designed to be aggressively simple, fast, and free. My goal is to connect users interested in subscribing to new platforms with high-quality referral codes in _seconds_. Submissions are displayed through a fair-by-design system of weighted randomness that elevates high-quality codes to searchers, gracefully degrades expired promotions, and gives new submissions a chance to prove themselves. The app is deceptively simple but there's a lot of cool stuff going on behind the scenes to try to mitigate duplicate and automated code submissions, appropriately weight search results, and keep costs low enough that I can afford to host the platform without slapping ad-trackers everywhere. Would really appreciate people's feedback, thoughts, and submissions. It's a tiny webapp in a tiny niche, but hopefully useful to someone!
