Questions about Monodrop, answered.

Monodrop is a focused product-discovery platform for independent apps, tools, crafted websites, creator projects, and digital products. It brings each product’s purpose, maker or curator, public progress, and community signals together so people can understand what deserves attention.

Monodrop is for independent founders, developers, designers, creators, thoughtful curators, and curious early users. Builders get a lasting public home for their work, curators can surface products they genuinely value, and visitors get a calmer way to discover both.

A Drop is a public Monodrop page for a product or site. It can include a screenshot, category, pitch, the problem it solves, tech stack, maker or curator credit, ownership status, upvotes, bookmarks, feedback, and build-in-public updates when it is connected to its maker.

A Curation is a notable third-party product or site shared by a Monodrop member who did not build it. It starts as an unclaimed Drop, appears in the curator’s profile, and remains available for its maker to claim. Social profile links cannot be submitted as Curations.

Monodrop focuses on sustained discovery rather than a single launch-day spike. Products are presented through purpose, craft, category, maker or curator context, and public progress. Upvotes are visible expressions of interest, not a public leaderboard that determines the Discover order.

No. Monodrop is a discovery, feedback, and build-in-public platform; it does not sell or deliver the listed products. Visit links open the product’s own website, where its maker controls availability, pricing, support, and terms.

Discover presents one product at a time so each Drop gets focused attention. A horizontal category bar lets you explore Indie Builds, Craft & Motion, Dev Tools, Micro-SaaS, SaaS and web apps, mobile apps, creator hubs, open-source tools, and digital products. The floating action bar lets you upvote, bookmark, visit, follow, and open the Drop detail page, where its build-post count is also shown when available.

Yes. Public Drops, builder profiles, and build updates can be viewed without signing in. An account is needed for actions that must be connected to a person, such as submitting, following, bookmarking, posting updates, leaving feedback, or claiming a project.

The build-in-public feed is a timeline of progress shared by builders. Updates can belong to a specific owned Drop or be a general builder post, and can cover launches, milestones, shipped work, metrics, lessons, pivots, work in progress, and requests for feedback. Unclaimed Curations do not receive a project build feed until ownership is transferred.

Following connects you to a builder or curator and helps surface their public activity. Bookmarking privately saves a specific Drop for later. Upvoting adds a visible signal of interest to that Drop, but does not place it on a public leaderboard or single-handedly determine Discover ordering.

Signed-in users can leave useful feedback on a project or join a discussion around a build update. The goal is actionable context for the builder, not anonymous scoring; content can be reported when it is abusive, misleading, or inappropriate.

Sign in with Google, open Submit a Drop, and choose Submit Your Own Drop or Curate a Great Site. Paste the product’s main URL; Monodrop retrieves public page information and a screenshot, prepares an editable draft, and lets you review the title, problem, category, pitch, tech stack, and, for your own work, your role before publishing.

AI helps turn publicly available page information into an editable first draft, including a concise pitch, the problem being solved, and a suggested category. The submitting member remains responsible for reviewing the draft. Publication creates an Under review listing; AI does not grant final approval.

Monodrop accepts Indie Builds, Craft & Motion, Dev Tools, Micro-SaaS, SaaS and web apps, mobile apps, creator hubs, open-source tools, and digital products. Makers can submit their own work with their role attached, while members can curate notable third-party sites as unclaimed listings credited to their profile. Duplicate domains, affiliate links, low-effort spam, scams, NSFW content, and unremarkable client work are not accepted.

A submission is published immediately with an Under review label while Monodrop checks relevance, clarity, safety, category, and overall fit. It otherwise behaves like a public Drop and can still be edited; an unclaimed Drop can also be claimed during review. Monodrop may approve it, change its category, reject it with a reason, restrict it, or remove it when it breaks platform rules or creates risk.

Yes. The connected owner can update the listing during and after review and publish build-in-public notes over time. A curator can edit or delete an unclaimed Curation they submitted. Administrators can edit any listing for review or accuracy; when an administrator changes someone else’s Drop, Monodrop sends that member a notification linking back to it.

Domain verification confirms that a connected builder controls the website attached to a Drop. The owner can publish Monodrop’s token at /.well-known/monodrop-verification.txt or place it in a monodrop-verification meta tag. Monodrop checks the selected method and displays an Ownership verified badge when it succeeds; social-profile Drops do not offer this verification flow.

An unclaimed project is a public listing curated by a community member but not yet connected to its maker. If you built it, sign in from its project page and send a claim request while the Drop is Under review or approved. Monodrop reviews ownership before transferring control; after approval, the original curator remains credited as Discovered by on the claimed Drop.

Founder Member recognizes eligible early builders who verify ownership while the announced places remain available. Founder Members receive Lifetime PRO, and current slot availability is shown inside Monodrop because the remaining number can change.

Monodrop combines immediate Under review labeling, ownership checks, duplicate-domain protection, action rate limits, community reporting, and administrative moderation. It favors clear, original, useful product pages and may recategorize, limit, reject, or remove misleading, unsafe, abusive, duplicated, or irrelevant content.

No public upvote leaderboard determines discovery. Upvote totals are visible on Drops as a lightweight signal of interest, but Monodrop still gives one product focused attention at a time and makes product context, recency, builder relationships, progress, and useful feedback more important than launch-day vote volume.

Yes. Approved public product pages, public builder profiles, and public build updates are designed to be indexable. Monodrop also publishes canonical metadata, structured data, a sitemap, an llms.txt file, API documentation, and an AI discovery manifest so eligible public information is easier for search and answer systems to understand.

You retain ownership of the content you submit. You grant Monodrop a limited license to host, format, display, secure, and distribute it as needed to operate and improve the service; the full conditions are set out in the Terms of Service.

Monodrop processes the account, content, activity, technical, contact, and optional notification data needed to provide and protect the service. Essential authentication storage supports signed-in features, while optional analytics loads only after consent; Monodrop does not sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising.

Use the Contact page for product, privacy, ownership, or support questions. Use the report control on a public Drop when the issue concerns that listing, and include enough detail for the problem to be reviewed accurately.
