# About SwipeToLaunch

> A directory of new products where the first thing you do is judge them. Swipe right if an idea deserves to exist, left if it doesn't.

## Scoring

The percentage on every product is the raw share of swipes that went right: right swipes divided by all swipes. Nothing is weighted or smoothed. A product needs 5 swipes before it takes a place on the board — below that it is listed as awaiting swipes, because one right swipe is technically 100% and tells you nothing.

## Voting

Swiping needs no account. Each browser gets an anonymous id in a signed cookie and can swipe each product once. Signing in with Google carries those swipes over to the account. An account is only required to submit a product.

Each swipe records the country, region, city and network it came from, plus a one-way hash of the IP address. The raw IP is never stored.

## Submitting

Paste a link and the site reads the page to draft the listing: name, tagline, description, categories, logo and a screenshot for the card. The submitter reviews everything before it publishes. Listings that do not read as real products are held for review.
