DebutPin
A playground for indie products and the makers behind them where you ship and collect pins.
About
DebutPin is an indie product playground designed for makers to launch projects, keep shipping, and collect pins along the way that never come off. The hot board resets daily at midnight Pacific time, ensuring that no product keeps a permanent place on top, while a second board ranks the makers themselves.
The platform is built for independent creators and startup founders who want to showcase their latest work, discover new products, and connect with other builders. Free listings link back from their own site, and paid sponsored spots never touch the ranking order.
What makes DebutPin different is its ephemeral daily leaderboard combined with permanent pin collection. Nothing carries over between days, and pins come purely from shipping and showing up rather than being bought.

each account has costs for us right and so um you know as nice as it would be to sort of almost go this somewhat altruistic route of like let you have a one-time fee for it the reality is that like that's not super possible at the moment
Per-account marginal cost forces subscription pricing
Lifetime pricing for Maybe is structurally broken because every connected account incurs ongoing aggregator cost. Audit per-customer recurring costs (API calls, data refreshes, third-party seats) before picking a model — if any scale linearly with customers, lifetime pricing is broken regardless of how appealing it sounds. Save one-time deals for products with truly zero per-customer marginal cost.
We optimize as a true north the business for long-term revenue and I say long-term revenue not short-term revenue because there's a lot of revenue we forgo and don't want to take because we believe it will squeeze you know the funnel in a way that we're not interested in.
Optimize for long-term revenue even when it means forgoing short-term gains
LinkedIn explicitly declines revenue that would optimize a short-term metric at the cost of member trust or long-term retention. Pricing experiments are evaluated on a 5-year revenue model, not just the first year. This long-term revenue orientation is enforced structurally: there's allocated 'revenue we won't take' and the team has permission to decline short-term extraction tactics. The result is a subscription business running at several billion dollars in annual run rate.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
