Design notes

Proof beats promises

Most catalogs sell with adjectives. We designed the listing to sell with receipts, because the audience for skills has the best-tuned marketing detector on the internet.

What we lead with

  • Install count, with its curve — direction matters more than the number.
  • Retention — how many people kept it after a week of real use.
  • The file itself — you can read every line before it touches your setup.

And what we left off: badges you can buy, five-star ratings with no denominator, and every synonym of 'supercharge'. If a claim can't be checked, it doesn't get pixels.

Proof is the listing. Everything else is decoration.

Why your skills are generalized

For a century, expertise was a moat. Now any agent can run it. The case for putting your name on the file instead of watching it happen.
