Real reviews from the community
What an 800-character review actually looks like
What a real review looks like
“email-safe solves a very real frontend pain: Tailwind classes that look fine in a browser can break badly in email clients like Outlook and Gmail. The repo’s direction is strong because it catches those mistakes early through tooling rather than waiting for expensive rendering tests. …
Tailwind CSS + ESLint tools for email-safe HTML. AI-maintained compatibility matrix.
What a real review looks like
“Python-Creations presents itself as a personal collection of Python programs, and that can be a good kind of repo when it is organized as a learning portfolio. The README is currently only one sentence, so the project’s intent is understandable but not yet easy to evaluate from the outside. …
Just, my creations using python programming language.
What a real review looks like
“Simple is an appealing Python-first game engine project with a clear promise: let Python users get visible 3D results quickly while relying on a C++/OpenGL core for the heavier runtime work. The README communicates that well with a 10-line quick start, PyPI install instructions, standalone editor downloads for Windows/ …
Simple is a fast, modern game/animation engine built for Python developers who want real engine power without the heavyweight setup. It’s designed to feel pro f
Submit. Review. Earn. Boost.
A credit economy where contribution is the only path to visibility.
Submit your repo for free
Any active public GitHub repo qualifies. Add a tagline. Your project goes live on the leaderboard immediately. No approval queue. No card.
Write one peer review
Pick a repo you've used or have strong opinions on. Write 800 characters: what it does, who it's for, what could improve. The maintainer has 48 hours to dispute low-effort or off-topic submissions. After that the review goes public and you earn 10 credits.
Spend credits on visibility (or skip them)
Use earned credits to pin your repo at the top of the feed or take a Featured spotlight. Boosts also work in cash, from $2. The leaderboard itself is always free.

How we keep this honest
The credit economy only works if reviews are real. Four guardrails make that the default, not the exception.
48-hour dispute window
Reviews don't go live, and credits don't unlock, until 48 hours after submission. The reviewed maintainer can flag low-effort or dishonest text and stop both from happening.
GitHub-only sign-in
Every reviewer is tied to a public GitHub developer profile. No anonymous accounts, no email-only signups, no throwaway identities behind reviews.
No self-dealing
You cannot review your own repos. You cannot review the same repo twice. Boost purchases are visible on the leaderboard so paid placement is always identifiable.
Deterministic ranking
The Top sort follows a published formula: peer reviews, star growth since submission, and optional boosts capped at 2x. No hidden engagement model. Same inputs, same order, for everyone.

Common questions
Why the 48-hour delay before a review is released?
The maintainer can dispute a review that breaks the rules during the window. If there is no dispute, the review is published, credits are granted, and the review is visible to everyone. That keeps the review pool higher quality.
How do you prevent fake reviews and self-dealing?
Sign-in is GitHub-only, so every reviewer is tied to a public developer profile. You cannot review your own repos. Reviews must clear 800 characters before submission. Every review enters a 48-hour dispute window where the maintainer can flag low-effort or dishonest text. Disputed reviews don't release and the reviewer earns no credits. See our content policy for full rules.
What stops paid boosts from buying #1?
Boosts are a multiplier on your organic score, capped at 2x. A repo with zero reviews scores zero regardless of boosts. A well-reviewed repo always beats a heavily-boosted one. See /rules for the full formula.
What is a credit?
A credit is a point you earn by writing reviews and spend on boosts. New accounts start with 25 free credits. Write an 800-character review and earn 10 more when it's released after the 48-hour dispute window.
Is it free to list my repo?
Yes. Submitting your repo and appearing on the leaderboard costs nothing. You only pay when you want extra visibility. Leaderboard boosts start at $2.

Who built this
Jay Campbell
@thejaycampbell·Founder, RepoRanker
I built RepoRanker because the vibe-coding wave produced thousands of new builders shipping in public, and there was nowhere to get substantive peer feedback on the actual work. GitHub is public but passive. Launch communities reward the moment, not the repo. RepoRanker is the place where critiques are earned, not gamed: reviewing another project earns you credits, so the feedback is real and the community has skin in the game.
Ship it. Then prove it.
60 seconds to submit. Zero approval queue. Or start by reviewing a project you already know and earn credits toward your own boost. See pricing for optional visibility options.
