Input Dollar is simple: you pay to feature your project, visitors leave feedback after checking it out, and those reviewers may plug their own project in return. The idea is to create a clear incentive for people to participate while giving submitters more than just a dead listing.
You are paying for attention from real visitors, not generic automated advice. Each listing invites people to click through, explore the project, and leave practical feedback you can use to improve copy, UX, onboarding, positioning, or trust.
Every submission runs for a defined placement window and review target. After that, it moves into the archive, so your project still has a public page on the site instead of disappearing completely when the campaign ends.
Your project gets another place to be discovered, shared, and clicked. The main value is feedback first, but the public listing and archive can also give your project another surface area online.
If you want extra visual emphasis, you can add highlighting to make your listing more noticeable while it is live and in the archive.
Leaving thoughtful feedback is how reviewers earn attention too. If you have your own startup, portfolio, product, or service, you can include it with your review and potentially get clicks from the submitter and future visitors.
The reviewer-side promotion is the mechanism that keeps the feedback loop going. People are more likely to leave useful comments when there is a concrete upside for them too.
