Great resource, though I've noticed 2 issues: * New entries start with a vote of 0, the poster has to actually up-vote their own submission to get it to 1 (as opposed to automatically making it 1 like on reddit). * The ranking appears to be a sum of up votes, only. Links that are added later (like now), show up at the very bottom and it's unlikely will reach the top. In a situation like this, to get attention, you're…

This is why the ability to downvote is so often worth the you-hurt-my-feelings tradeoff. http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating....

I think there is a "secret" ability to downvote... see this https://www.dropbox.com/s/u012v405bka4fas/Screenshot%202015-... I hope it's just a huge bug

Or is this just a way to keep topchart at the top?

The second part really is irritating, given that new products are at the bottom of the pit and hidden under multiple 'Load More' with the slightest chance of anyone resurrecting it.

There's currently a post that has '-19' votes (as of this writing) that appears at the bottom. Since there are only up votes, I assume this is a bug. That's really too bad because it looks like that chart item would be second from the top but because it's negative it's sunk to the bottom.

It would probably be a good idea to have an email displayed somewhere, a 'contact us' section and, ideally, a way to leave feedback easily (without logging in, etc.).

TopChart looks good! It took me a second to realize the chart wasn't a Y-Combinator site.
