I built a peer review platform for GitHub repos because #Trending is broken

I'm a solo builder... constantly shipping new projects and features.

One of the hardest parts of my process isn't the building itself, it's getting a real second opinion. Someone who actually pokes around, tests the thing, and tells you what they think from a completely different perspective.

There's no easy way to do that. You can post in a Discord, hope someone clicks, maybe get a "nice project" reply. That's not feedback. That's noise.

So I built RepoRanker.

What it is
RepoRanker is a place for developers and vibe coders to submit their GitHub repos and get written peer reviews from other builders. Real feedback. 800+ character minimum. GitHub-verified reviewers so you know it's coming from an actual developer, not a bot.

Free to submit. Free to review.

The leaderboard
There's a daily-refreshing leaderboard so there's always something new to look at when you visit. It's not a one-time launch moment. Your repo stays discoverable over time.

The economy
You earn credits for writing reviews. Spend those credits on visibility boosts for your own project. The more you give, the more you get back.

Try it
Submit your repo: reporanker.com/submit

If you've ever wished someone would just sit down and actually look at what you built, this is for you.
