Okay so my discovery score was 26 last night. This morning it's 30. I haven't done much except for commenting on a post. How does the discovery score work, and what's the number I should aim for?
It varies slightly sometimes. I asked Contra directly about this situation, and it apparently shifts by up to 20 points as the system adjusts.
Interesting. I'll keep an eye to see if being active (commenting, liking, etc.) moves the needle. The size of the network should matter too, I think
Mostly, it will be projects, reviews, and completing your profile. For context, every time I reach a "like" or "comment" milestone, the score goes up by 1pt, but this week I published my first verified project, and it went up by 10pts.
Cool! I've been adding my work and being a little active, I see my discovery score is up again, now to 33. Cool system!

Hey @Contra HQ , my Discovery Score just hit 101, and I want to share something with anyone starting from scratch. 🚀
I didn't get here overnight. I started with zero, not knowing when things would finally work out.
But I kept showing up. Kept putting myself out there. Kept believing that something would eventually click.
I stopped waiting for the perfect moment. Stopped doubting every step. And started trusting the process.
Show up.
Share your work.
Keep building.
Keep going.
I'm still far from where I want to be. But seeing my progress today reminds me why I never gave up.
You don't need to know when it'll happen. You just need to keep going until it does.
Sometimes, everything starts changing right after you decide not to quit. ❤️
Three weeks into building the Pasted website, after the design was approved, an 11-page document arrived with a whole new vision.
It was beautiful work, and it described a different project at the agreed price.
I asked them to decide: keep the approved scope, or pause and price the new idea separately. On day six, they chose the original. We shipped two weeks later.
Offering to price the new vision as its own phase also lets the client see what the idea costs without it feeling like a no. Was a change-order process already written into your contract, or did you build that path on the spot?
Damn How much Time This landing page took.
Just WOW no words to describe it
