Virality pass 1 — what we shipped
Paste-and-go, compare mode, band-aware roast share copy, and honest aggregates. A week of scoped work.
A score is only viral if people can share it, understand it, and compare it. V.1 shipped all three. The single highest-leverage change was compare mode: `/score/:id/vs/:other` renders side-by-side cards, per-signal win counts, and a custom 1200x630 OG card for X and Telegram unfurls.
Second-largest: paste-and-go on the landing. One input, one validator, one round-trip to decide whether you go to `/score/:uuid` or `/launch?address=…`. Zero wallet connect required to look up a score.
Band-aware share copy was the quiet one — a red-band tweet leans self-deprecating, amber asks for help, green flexes verification. One template replaced by band lookup; ~3 lines of code, huge delta in share rate.
