A quick check before a project goes on Stage.

We open every submitted link and briefly check that the app loads and its main purpose appears to work. This is a basic functionality check; we do not test every feature.

Keep the lights on

Support a quieter stage for builders.

Stage stays useful through careful curation and community support. Encore gives supported projects another moment on Stage. It is a temporary visibility boost, not an endorsement or ranking.
