- [GitHub Marketplace feature card preview before brand refresh](/growth-ideas/github-marketplace-feature-card-preview-before-brand-refresh/) - Treat the feature card preview as part of brand work before launch, because GitHub can feature the app on the Marketplace homepage and the card has to stand out in one glance.
- [GitHub Marketplace very short description as homepage filter](/growth-ideas/github-marketplace-very-short-description-as-homepage-filter/) - Write the GitHub Marketplace very short description like shelf copy for a busy repo admin, because the homepage only gives you 40 to 80 characters to win a serious click.
