Offer Board (Provider)

The Offer Board (/feed-offers) is where you publish short, public proposals for feeds you are considering or building—before or alongside a full listing in the Feeds directory.

Why post an offer

Gauge interest with votes before you invest in sync infrastructure or schema hardening.

Describe the shape of the future feed (topic, update cadence, rough scope) so consumers can react early.

Build an audience for launch day; engaged voters are natural early adopters once the feed goes live.

What you should include

A clear title and description that set expectations (coverage, limitations, legal/sourcing constraints at a high level).

Honest status: idea, in progress, or near launch—whatever matches reality, so votes stay meaningful.

After the offer

When the feed is production-ready, complete the normal publish flow and Feed Publishing Guidelines so it appears in the marketplace and on API keys.

You can iterate offers as plans change; avoid leaving misleading offers at the top of Hot if you have abandoned a line of work.
