Verification and approval

A product joins the network after two steps: you prove it is yours, and we approve it.

Websites

When the widget first loads on your registered domain, we read your site and look for your ID. If the install code is in your page, this happens by itself.

If your widget is added by JavaScript or a site builder, your ID may not be in the page we read. Add this tag to your home page, or serve a file at /.well-known/recovibes.txt that contains your ID. Then press Verify now in your dashboard.

<meta name="recovibes" content="rv_...">

Apps and games

Your dashboard gives you a short code. Add it to text you write in your store listing, then press Check. You can remove it once verified.

• App Store: the description, which goes live with your next version. Or a file at /.well-known/recovibes.txt on the developer website your listing names, which needs no new version.
• Google Play: the end of the full description.
• Steam: the About This Game section.
• itch.io: the game page description.
• Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons and Microsoft Store: the listing description.

Only text you write counts. A code in a review or a comment is ignored.

Approval

We review every new product, and approval can take up to 48 hours. A website joins the network and earns points as soon as you install the widget, but other sites show just its link until its name and description are approved. A phone app is not shown to others and does not earn points until it is approved.

Other people see your name and description, so a change to either one waits for approval. Until then they keep seeing the approved version, and your product stays in the network.
