Comment highlights
I wish this had a demo website page showing what the actual leaderboard looks like.
Positive Gamification always brings a positive impact. Kudos on launch.
But curious how to integrate with existing tools like task management or CRM?
I want this for my family. Are there rewards ? How do you confirm stats? ie can participants share proof of what they did
Congrats on the launch! I did give it a try, I felt UI needs a bit of more work (a bit overwhelming at the moment)
Would love to try it out for my gym buddies community.
Congrats on the launch! Very appropriate with this alpha day leaderboard! what is the most common type of competition people create leaderboards for that you've seen
Me and my friends are pretty competitive in like the most stupid things.
One thing though, I'm missing a preview of what it would look like on the website. Atleast I can't find it.
How do you handle fairness and anti-cheating in practice (e.g., photo proof, edit history, moderator approvals, rate limits), especially for prizes or longer-running competitions?
What's the best way to use it for a Slack community? @catt_marroll
this is interesting — leaderboards can either be really motivating or really discouraging depending on how they're set up. do you have any mechanics to keep it fun for people who aren't at the top? like personal bests or smaller group boards? i've seen communities where the leaderboard kills engagement for everyone except the top 3.
How are you keeping engagement going over time, especially once the novelty of the leaderboard wears off?

Its a cool idea, and i personally see it as an team building activity for any business.
May i know if there is any limit on participants right now? I have a team of 220.
What is the most easiest way for me to add those 220 people?
Thanks
"5$ because u can code it urself" is the most honest saas pricing in history😅
Congrats on the launch! It’s a cool idea. Can I ask, do you need to be contacts/friends with people to join a contest, or can you freely search and join contests that others are hosting?
such a cool idea man, how do u come with such good ideas, (loved ur last product purposeful poop)

Who hunted Show Me a Leaderboard?
Show Me a Leaderboard was hunted by Matt Carroll. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.

I started a micro-niche competition website for my friend-group and over the past 6 months it has slowly grown to be a very vibrant community. This was surprising to me!
I now frequently find myself saying "Show me a leaderboard and I will show you an unreasonable amount of time trying to get to the top of it", based on the lengths I saw people go to win my 2025 contest (hence the name). People really love internet points, even more so against their friends! Show Me A Leaderboard allows anyone to host a competition, and gives you the tools to make it fun.
There is not a ton of technical sophistication here, and most PH users can easily vibecode something like this very quickly, so feel free to do that! Our pricing of $5/year (per competition) is reflective of that.
As an example, I made this contest, where you can compete to see who can leave the most comments on PH during launch day :)
