Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Just to clarify — bskyinfo is only a directory site for Bluesky tools and resources.

Our sponsorships are limited to placements on the bskyinfo website only — they have nothing to do with promoting posts on the Bluesky app

Just noticed one user launched 4 Premium + 2 Free on Firsto.co in the past 45 days 👀

All 5 projects indexed by Google within ~48h (DR53 backlink).

Free queue ≈ 3 months. Premium? Live in 24h.

No wonder they keep choosing Premium, and we’re grateful for the trust

Firsto revolutioniert die Art und Weise, wie Produkte gelauncht und präsentiert werden. Als einzigartige Plattform bietet Firsto eine nachhaltige Sichtbarkeit für jeden Produktstart und unterstützt Gründer, Entwickler und Marketer dabei, ihre Innovationen langfristig sichtbar zu machen und erfolgreich zu vermarkten.

I’m impressed by Firsto's focused approach to solving the biggest headache for new products: getting seen. What stands out is their ‘Always Discoverable’ promise – your launch stays visible long after the initial hype. I see this being invaluable for indie developers and bootstrapped startups who can’t afford to vanish in algorithm feeds. Their trending/winners sections create social proof. It’s more than a directory – it’s a growth toolkit.

Something’s shifting… 👀

Firsto just hit 7 days in a row with sales (9 total).

Add that to +92 users & +99 projects in a week — the platform’s getting busier by the day.

Makers, don’t sleep on this → firsto.co

Hi Leo,

I'm happy to provide a testimonial for Firsto's review service.

"Firsto provided an excellent and comprehensive review of Query Streams. Their team was thorough in their testing, asking detailed questions that showed a deep understanding of the product. The published review article is well-written, insightful, and has already achieved top rankings on Google for relevant keywords. We are very pleased with the exposure and detailed feedback received. Thank you, Firsto!"

Thanks,

Chris
