Show HN: Stackrate – dev-to-dev peer review platform for honest app feedback
https://stackrate-waitlist.netlify.app
Hey HN,
I kept running into the same problem after every launch. Product Hunt gives you upvotes, Reddit gives you noise, and everyone else says "looks great." Nobody tells you what is actually broken.
So I started building Stackrate — a platform where developers peer-review each other's apps using a structured template covering UX, onboarding, value prop and performance.
The core mechanic is a credit system: review one app to earn a review for yours. Reviewers are dev-verified only via GitHub or App Store link. The submitter defines the exact scope of feedback they want rather than getting a generic template.
The insight that shaped the matching logic came from a developer who said "same stack, one step ahead is 10x more useful than feedback from a random smart dev." So matching is by stack and revenue stage, not just category.
Still pre-build. Validating demand before writing code.

Happy to answer questions about the approach or the problem.

the structured template is the right call. generic "looks great" feedback is useless because no one is forced to be specific. curious how you stop the reciprocity trap where everyone gives 5 stars to get 5 stars back
