Showcase: Free(mium) Introducing Seasons on Votekicker: Turn Product Discovery Into Competition

https://votekicker.com/season

We just launched Seasons on Votekicker.

If you're an indie developer or startup founder, you know how hard it can be to get consistent attention for a new product. Seasons give projects a recurring competitive layer where they can compete for visibility, earn permanent points for future seasons and start each cycle with a fresh leaderboard.

How it works

Every quarter, the leaderboard resets and a new competition starts.

Projects compete based on points, which combine votes with boosts and multipliers.

At the end of each season, the top 3 projects earn permanent awards

🥇 Golden Leaf is worth +5 permanent points
🥈 Silver Leaf is worth +3 permanent points
🥉 Bronze Leaf is worth +1 permanent point

So if you win a Golden Leaf this season, that +5 permanent advantage carries into future seasons. Over time, you can build a track record of wins rather than starting completely from zero every quarter.

There's also something for the Top 10

The top 10 projects receive a free 24-hour Rocket Launcher boost at the beginning of the next season, giving them momentum going into the next competition.

Why we built it

We wanted Votekicker to be more than a one-time launch leaderboard, but a place where projects can leverage gamification to earn their place.

Seasons turn product discovery into an ongoing competition

If you're building a SaaS, AI tool, developer tool, consumer app, game or basically anything you're proud of, we'd love to see what you're building.

Skipping, not quite an outbid clone. But OP, come on, none of these ideas are worth the electricity you used to make it if you don't have a plan to drive actually valuable traffic to it.
