On sites like Patreon, discoverability is key. The more tools people can use to find creators worthy of their support, the better. Very nice work!

  This tool mostly feels like it'll help the popular people get more popular. I'm really not sure how I feel about knowing that I'm currently the 3077th-best-earning creator on Patreon. (Although that number is kind of deceptive as I'm paid per creation, which can vary from 1/month to 8/month. On good months I'm more like #595, although I'm sure there are other per-creation folks who make more things per month and/or get more per thing.)

    Looking at just the home page, sure, but if I bookmarked the New in Games page[1] and check back occasionally I can be reasonably assured to find lesser known creators in a category I'm interested in.

    That was definitely not my sole intention, which is why we have different filters on the page. Each creator is updated nightly so as I gather more data, the "Trending" page will be more accurate. Would love to hear your suggestions however on how I can get the unknowns more known. I have a cousin on Patreon who's extremely talented but struggles to get a fanbase so I know how you feel!

      Have you considered setting up alerts? E.g. sending an email when a trending new Creator in the Games category appears.

        Nope I have not and that is a great idea. Would definitely need to refine "Trending" to something that is giving useful data before implementing this however. Thanks for the suggestion and keep em' coming! /adds feature suggestion to Trello board
