README excerpt
# Stompstart startup list Propose a new startup for Stompstart by pull request. One pull request adds one startup: `startups/ .yaml`, with its logo and product images in `startups/ /`. ## What gets listed Stompstart lists startups at launch: real products with a public launch, not side projects, demos, games or one-off utilities. A startup is eligible when it first appeared in public in the six months before your pull request opened: its first release, or for a prelaunch product, the opening of its waitlist or signup. It needs: - an official website on its own domain, not a shared or temporary host such as vercel.app, github.io or a tunnel, and a way in that works: signup, waitlist, demo, download, install or browse; - its launch, with the page that dates it: the announcement, release post or listing, not the code repository (a prelaunch product leaves the launch out); - its own logo, from its site or press kit: PNG or WebP, square or close to it, 256 to 1,600 pixels, and an original at that size, never one of the site's smaller icons enlarged (render the site's SVG logo, or use its press kit or app icon); - pictures of the product if you have them, 1,200 to 1,600 pixels wide and listed first. The site's share image may follow as an extra but does not count; with no product picture, Stompstart takes a screenshot of the homepage at review; - a description in your own words, with sources for its claims; - to be new here: not on Stompstart already, live or in the archive, and not proposed by an earlier open pull request. The first open pull request for a startup holds it. ## Propose a startup [code] Replace every sample value in `startups/your-startup-slug.yaml`, put the logo and product images in `startups/your-startup-slug/` under the names the file gives them, then check it: [code] The example explains the fields and the schema is exact. The pull request runs both checks again; a check marked for review passes, and a reviewer looks at it. ## After the pull request Passing checks is not publication. Stompstart captures the sources, reviews the exact revision and publishes eligible startups in a signed release. The startup's page on stompstart.com then credits the pull request and its author. Pull requests are not merged: publication is the result. If a review finds a problem, the pull request gets a finding to fix; amend the same pull request. Payment for priority review never changes eligibility, placement or approval, and corrections are always free. ## Launches for startups already listed A first release or a major update to a startup already on Stompstart is a launch file: [code] Edit `launches/published-startup-slug/launch-name.yaml` from the launch example. A launch cites the page that announced it and the passage that dates it; a routine changelog entry is not a launch. ## Licences Text you write here is CC BY 4.0. Logos and product images stay their owners'; they identify the startup. The checks and scripts are MIT. The schem
