Been going back and forth on this one. We’re considering adding a demo video service for the apps on Stamped, basically short walkthroughs showing the app in action, not just a screenshot carousel.

But I want to hear from actual devs before we build it. Does a demo video change whether you download something? Or is it just extra noise that people scroll past?

Curious if anyone’s tested this on their own listing page or App Store screenshots vs video preview. Did it move conversion at all, or was it a wash?

Genuinely torn on whether this is worth the time to build out.

Not the elevator pitch. The actual reason.

The frustration that kept showing up. The problem you couldn’t stop thinking about. The story behind what inspired you to build it.

Drop your project and the story behind it — let’s all visit each other’s sites and give real feedback.

I’ll go first:

I built Stamped (stampedios.com) because the App Store has a million apps and most of them disappear before anyone gives them a shot. Great software gets buried every day — not because it’s bad, but because the store rewards popularity over quality.

I believe great software is an art form. The people building it deserve a stage. Stamped is that stage.

Now you. What are you building and why does it actually exist?

I built Stamped because finding great iOS apps felt like hide and seek.
The App Store surfaces the same 30 brands every year. Big budgets, established audiences, repeat visibility. Independent developers with genuinely useful apps launch and disappear before most people ever see them.
Then I started building my own apps and hit the other side of that problem. Getting in front of real users is just as hard as finding them in the first place.
So I built a platform that solves both.

Stamped is a community driven iOS app discovery platform. Every app has a creator profile, community ratings across five categories.

If you’re an indie dev tired of shouting into the void, or a user who wants to find something that isn’t already everywhere, this was built for you.
