## About IndieShipped

## Overview
IndieShipped is a weekly launch directory and community for independent developers who build and ship software on the internet. Makers submit finished projects, and a fresh batch is published every Monday, with upvotes determining placement across spotlight, weekly, and category listings.

## Key Features
- **Weekly Monday drop cycle**: Discovery is structured around a single recurring publication window rather than a continuous feed. Submissions gathered during the week compete for a position in the next drop, which keeps the front page curated but means a project can wait several days before it becomes publicly visible.

- **Spotlight and paid placements**: The "In The Spotlight" section mixes editorially chosen Top Picks with purchasable Open Slots, and individual listings can be boosted for extra prominence. This establishes a clear monetization path through the pricing page, though it also means paid entries frequently sit above organically submitted projects.

- **Structured project pages**: Every submission receives its own URL under /projects/ with a title, description, category labels, an external visit link, and an upvote counter. Because these pages ship with canonical tags and metadata, they act as long-tail SEO assets that can continue drawing traffic well after launch week ends.

- **Directory, maker and newsletter layers**: Beyond the homepage, IndieShipped maintains category directories, a winners archive filterable by week or month, a trending view, an alternatives section, and a makers index. A Monday email newsletter distributes the week's best new startups to subscribers, adding a second distribution channel for listed products.
