Show HN: Contestit.app – Social media giveaways with games

https://www.contestit.app/
1•StanMakesThings•21h ago
Hey, I'm Stan and I made a app called Contestit. It's a social media giveaway app that let's users create giveaways. It gives the user a link they can share to their followers. What I always disliked or found annoying about giveaways is the fact that they were all the same, here's the prize. All you got to do is like, follow, and comment to be entered. That always bored me so i wanted to make it more interactive. Here's how it works: Users still get a shareable link for their giveaway, but after people sign up, they can play games to earn more entries instead of just waiting around. Right now there are three game types:

-Daily spin wheel (self-explanatory)

-Custom trivia contests (creators set their own questions)

-Photo contests (either "best photo wins" judged by the creator, or points-based where more engagement = more entries)

The photo contest is my personal favorite. If you got any ideas for some games i could add let me know. :)
