2As a user, I find BuildPublicly genuinely interesting. It’s eye-opening to see real revenue numbers instead of vague success stories. The verified MRR makes the data feel much more reliable.
The “anonymous verification” angle is a smart middle ground between founders’ desire for privacy and the community’s need for trustworthy numbers—especially if it really is pulling directly from Stripe/Paddle/etc. That said, MRR alone can be pretty misleading without a bit of context (gross vs net, refunds/chargebacks, annual prepay normalization, and even what counts as “recurring” in Shopify-style businesses). Curious if you’re planning to support a few optional “quality” signals alongside verified MRR—e.g., NRR/churn bands or customer count ranges—so people can learn how the revenue is built, not just admire the headline.
