# Grow Your Community

> A practical playbook for getting players to your app and keeping them.

## Launch week

<Tip>
  The first week sets the tone. Focus on getting people to play, and making it
  easy for them to talk to you.
</Tip>

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](/overview/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](/apps/build/app-metadata).
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](/apps/platform/host-bridge#feedback).

## Keep players coming back

* **Save progress** with [`app-state`](/apps/platform/app-state) so players pick up where they left off, on any device.
* **Show progress over time.** Record sessions and scores with [`app-metrics`](/apps/platform/metrics-and-scores) and show personal bests or trends.
* **Use reminders sparingly.** Elata-brokered [notifications](/apps/platform/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
