Approcity - Hackers helping hackers get users
If you're like me, your number 1 problem is: How do I get users? Approcity is a totally free link exchange network for web app developers. Feature a customizable (and non-blocking) bar on your website / blog / girlfriends site. When anyone clicks an app that is featured on your bar you will be rewarded with karma. Karma gets your app(s) featured on other people's bars. Its reciprocity for web apps! I've also included some safeguards to prevent the overly-clever from unfairly racking up their own scores.

In plain words
Approcity is a free link exchange network for web app developers to gain users. Developers add a customizable, non-blocking bar to their site that features other apps; when visitors click those apps, the developer earns karma points. Accumulated karma increases how often the developer's own apps appear on other users' bars, creating a reciprocal system for cross-promotion. Built-in safeguards prevent score manipulation.
