      hi all,

      we are developing a service to surface hidden gems on the app store, in all categories including games.

      we will maintain a list of all games in the top 200 and highlight new ones cracking the top 200 on a daily basis. this guarantees freshness and hopefully surfaces new, cool games.

      there are other parts of the algorithm such as featuring indie games, but the algorithm is still a work in progress.

      we're looking for beta users to provide feedback while we refine the algorithm. anyone interested?

      the service will be free, available via an HTML5 app as well as a daily email.

      thanks!

      hi all,

      here's the preliminary list of apps surfaced in the games category. do you find these interesting? are there other categories you would like us to test the algorithm against?

      in the future, we will put this onto a single web page with descriptions and thumbnails for simpler browsing.

      thanks for the feedback!
