Launch week

The first week sets the tone. Focus on getting people to play, and making it easy for them to talk to you.
  1. Share your Elata link everywhere. Post app.elata.bio/app/<slug> on X, Discord, and relevant communities. Shared links are tracked, so people who share your app earn Elata Points when others click through.
  2. Fill in your listing. A clear header image, screenshots, and an extended description noticeably improve conversion. See App listing.
  3. Add your team and social links so players can see who’s behind the app.
  4. Put a feedback button inside your app using Elata’s feedback channel. See Host bridge.

Keep players coming back

  • Save progress with app-state so players pick up where they left off, on any device.
  • Show progress over time. Record sessions and scores with app-metrics and show personal bests or trends.
  • Use reminders sparingly. Elata-brokered notifications are opt-in and rate-limited. Use them for things the player asked for, such as “session complete”.
  • Ship regular updates and describe them in your release changelog.
  • Reply to reviews and comments on your app page.

Discovery

Elata ranks apps using signals such as plays, saves, votes, reviews, and recency, and personalizes recommendations for signed-in users. New apps start with limited exposure and gain visibility as people engage with them. Users can also:
  • save your app to their collection
  • vote and review it
  • follow you and other players
  • share it with a tracked link
