Starting grid

Eligible published products with 0 Energy. They participate without a numbered Energy Rank until Energy is added.

Every row opens the product’s page on IndieTools, and its category opens the catalogue. Exploring the board is exploring the directory. Each page draws up to 100 products. Use the page links to continue through every eligible product.

Boost is a paid board. Every eligible published product participates at 0 Energy. Purchased Energy only changes its order on this board. The directory, category pages, search, the Top 100 and the Domain Rating leaderboard are separate, and their order is never for sale.

How Boost ranking works

More Active Energy means a higher place on the Energy Board. Nothing else is counted, and nothing is hidden, so you never have to wonder why another product ranks above yours.

  1. Every eligible published product participates automatically and starts with 0 Active Energy.

  2. Add Energy to your product. It is not a subscription: you add Energy whenever you want.

  3. Energy stays active for 30 days from the day it was bought. The board never resets.

  4. Products with more Active Energy rank higher. A tie stays with the product that reached that balance first.

  5. When Energy expires, places update on their own, and a product can move down without anyone doing anything.

  6. Other products can add Energy at any time, so a place is never locked. The board draws the first 100 places, and a product past them keeps its true place.

  7. An Energy Rank is a rank in Energy. It says nothing about which product is best.
