SaaSThrone
Discover rising products, back the banners you believe in, and watch them climb the public leaderboard.
What is SaaSThrone?
SaaSThrone is a public leaderboard where makers list their products as banners and compete for the top spots in the Great Council. Visitors can browse rising products, check today's court and the all-time standings, and see each banner's click count and rank.
Listings are organized into realms, such as Marketing, SEO, Productivity, Developer, Health, and Ecommerce, so visitors can find products that fit their interests. To claim a place, a maker picks a realm, chooses an amount, and seizes the highest open rank. Ranks are grouped into tiers: The King holds #1, The Lords hold #2 to #5, The Merchants hold #6 to #20, and Peasants sit at #21 and below.
The site is built for ambitious makers who want a public home for their product and a clear path for others to discover it. It emphasizes real products, honest descriptions, and a fair fight for every place on the board.
What sets it apart is the rank-claiming mechanic and the themed structure of the council, which turns a directory listing into an ongoing contest. Earlier rulers' banners stay in the annals after a new banner takes the throne.

Engineer the hook cycle for ethical retention
Map Nir Eyal's four-step loop (trigger → action → variable reward → investment) onto your onboarding and lifecycle flows. Without an investment step, even great products stay one-night-stand tools. Tie the reward to outcomes the user is genuinely proud of — high retention then becomes a side effect of real value, not manipulation. (Nir Eyal, Hooked.)
I also decided to share the development progress on my social media, and after posting the first screenshots and seeing a positive reception I knew that I should really hurry up and bring the app to the App Store — just banged it out in 2 months.
Positive social reception on screenshots = ship the MVP in 2 months, no more polish
Posting development progress on social media doubles as live validation. Positive reception on early screenshots is the signal to stop polishing and rush the MVP to the store — two months from screenshot to launch is enough.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
