Proof of Traction

About

Each project's rank comes from visitors measured on the maker's own site, and results are sealed weekly so the standings can be checked later. The market map sizes each project by its visitors and colours it by growth, and each entry shows its top traffic source, such as X or direct. The page also notes that the founder's own projects are measured the same way as everyone else's.
