Overview

RankCert is a verified product launch ranking platform. It presents weekly launch boards where products are ranked on verified domain control rather than only community upvotes. The homepage shows Week 40, a countdown to the week close, a trending sort, and an ordered board of products. Each row includes rank, product logo, verification or Elite status, platform label such as Web or iOS, short description, comment count, category, tags, and a vote button. The page also links to trust ranking, categories, climbing, analytics, my products, evidence, profile, settings, blog, tools, and legal pages. Its core promise is simple: rankings backed by evidence, not upvotes.

Key Features

• Verified domain-control ranking: products can earn Verified status, and rankings cite evidence.
• Weekly launch boards: Week 34 through Week 40 navigation, with the current Week 40 closing on a countdown.
• Trending and trust views: a Trending sort on the board, plus separate Trust ranking and Climbing pages.
• Product discovery: search products, browse categories and tags, read comments, and view vote counts.
• Product cards: rank, logo, name, Verified/Elite badge, Web/iOS label, tagline, comment link, category, tags, and vote button.
• Launch tooling for makers: New launch, Analytics, My products, Evidence, Profile, and Settings.
• Community signals: votes and comments are present, but the ranking model emphasizes verified domain control.
• Dark mode and feedback/report bug controls are available from the interface.
