We’re thrilled to announce that Nurl has won a prestigious Netty Award of “Best Gaming App” for our innovative work in the Tabletop Role-play Game category!
Not only that, but Nurl has also made history as the first TTRPG company to win a Netty!
This is a proud moment that underscores our commitment to excellence for our customers. As one of the most trusted awards in the industry, the Netty Awards honor top leaders and companies across 100+ unique categories – recognizing creativity, technical proficiency, innovation, and impact.
To Celebrate, we created a limited edition shirt (only 50 available) symbolizing the battles we have fought to win this award!
If anyone is curious, the Netty Awards are not even exactly awards. They are “awarded” every quarter in over 100 categories, and you can even apply for custom categories.
It is more of a directory of companies who have paid USD 500 to be listed on the website. You obviously can measure the quality of their awards from how they have awarded a non-released app with only a landing page.
I love it when people bring their “hustler dark-pattern-ridden indie hacker”[1] mentality over to the TTRPGs.
1 - Obviously, this is not a stab at the good guys among the indie hacker circles.
Edit: typo > [1] was previously [!].
I appreciate that you point this out. You do have to apply and pay a fee for most highly-rated awards (nothing is free today). However, I’m proud to say that we did not apply, rather were nominated (by individuals) and won our category.
We are bootstrapped (indie hackers) who are just trying to build a tool that we have always wanted - and hope others can enjoy as well (along with our victories).
I also appreciate you answering. I will suspend my disbelief and assume what you say above is true.
If you were to accept advice from random people on the interwebs, I would say, “don’t speak of it, ever.” It is not a prestigious thing and only thing it will do is to make people question your legitimacy. If you search for Netty Awards, in Google, in Kagi, or in DDG, there are questions about legitimacy of the awards site and even allegations of it being a scam in the auto-complete of the search engines. I would personally not be interested in doing business with a “Netty Award Winner.”
But, again, take my above sentiment with a grain of salt: I am in the (PR) industry, and I am very much jaded. I might not be your target market. And for your target market this might be a big deal.
