Based on quick glance (which is what most sites get from me) one key difference is that indiehackers shows the actual amounts right there on front page. This is quite small thing, but for me it tells this site might actually contain something I'm interested in.

That's a good point, thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I'm not focusing on "money" but in "transparency"(which is a broad term). What I show in the list however, is what is the Startup notable for (aka "champion" in), e.g. remote work or bootstrapping. Definitely something I should think about.

  I viewed the site because it displayed revenue. That was the interesting thing to me.

    Good to know that. I guess the revenue thing is very attractive. Not sure if maybe others may be interested in Remote Work or in Open Source? I don't know. The problem I'm realising now is that my site is maybe too generic and that makes not clear enough its purpose. I didn't want to saturate the list items with lots of info so I tried to summarised it with the "Champion" icon, but I agree it seems not 100% clear. I will work on that.

Yes, whether I'm looking to spend money or earn money the first thing I want to see is how much money. I hate product reviews where the price is buried in the article, put it where everyone can find it quickly.

  I don't think this is about earning or spending money, is it? (but I've got the point, ShowMeTheMoney!)

    For me, it is absolutely about earning money. Frankly, I'm not interested in someone who built a side business with <$1k/m in revenue. That's a single retainer for my consulting company. Stories where the developer has been able to attract meaningful revenue are for more interesting.

      That's fear enough - and that's why I'm featured only Startups. All them generate much more than much $1k/m. The interesting thing is too see the reach that level starting from 0. This is what I call on the Site the startup "growth journey".
