Question 1

What is BuildHop?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop is a startup distribution platform for indie founders that turns product pages into ongoing discovery loops. It combines live product discovery, public dofollow launch pages, proof metrics, leaderboards, founder updates, Founder Spotlight pages, launch directory tracking, and free lead discovery.

Question 2

How is BuildHop different from a launch site?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop is different from a launch site because it is built for ongoing distribution, not only launch-day visibility. Founders can keep building traction through discovery feeds, proof dashboards, product updates, founder feeds, launch directory lists, free leads, dofollow launch pages, and leaderboard movement after the initial launch.

Question 3

How does BuildHop help products get discovered?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop helps products get discovered through a no-signup browsing feed, public product pages, dofollow launch links, upvotes, skips, tracked product opens, leaderboards, founder updates, Founder Spotlight pages, launch directory distribution, and relevant community lead discovery.

Question 4

What discovery signals does BuildHop track?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop tracks discovery signals such as product views, upvotes, downvotes, skips, dwell time, average dwell seconds, completion behavior, recent momentum, and outbound clicks. These signals help show which products are earning real attention from people browsing the feed.

Question 5

What proof metrics does BuildHop give founders?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop gives founders a proof dashboard with tracked views, vote totals, upvotes, downvotes, leaderboard performance, outbound clicks, click-through rate, trend data, shareable metric images, and public launch-page proof so they can show traction with more context than a launch screenshot.

Question 6

What distribution tools are included in BuildHop?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop includes launch directory lists, submission tracking, launch-value scoring, public dofollow product pages, product update feeds, Founder Spotlight pages, leaderboard visibility, paid boost options, and free lead discovery from relevant conversations on communities such as Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Exchange, and DEV.

Question 7

What are Founder Spotlight pages and founder feeds on BuildHop?

Accepted Answer

Founder Spotlight pages are public founder profiles that help tell the story behind a builder, their launches, links, traction, goals, and what they are looking for. Founder feeds and product updates let builders share progress, reply to other founders, and create more reasons for products to be discovered over time.

Question 8

Who should use BuildHop?

Accepted Answer

BuildHop is for indie founders, SaaS makers, product builders, early-stage startups, founder communities, and early adopters who want more than a static launch listing. It is useful for anyone who wants ongoing discovery, proof metrics, distribution channels, product updates, dofollow launch pages, and founder visibility.
