Open startup page and badge
An open startup page is a public page at foxplug.com/p/ with your name, what you shipped, and only the numbers you choose to show. It is off until you switch it on. A small badge shows your latest ship and links to the page.
Where to find it: The Infiltrate tab in FoxPlug, in the block called Open startup page. Open it in FoxPlug
Steps
- In FoxPlug, open the Infiltrate tab and scroll to Open startup page. If you see "Publish your changelog address first", publish a changelog entry first: the page uses the same address.
- Tick Show my open startup page. The page is live from that moment. Untick it to take it down; while it is off, the address shows "This page is not public".
- Under Monthly revenue, choose Do not show, Show a range or Show the exact figure. Revenue needs Stripe connected.
- Tick any of Paying customers, Visitors and trend and Releases this month that you want visitors to see. Every one is off until you tick it. Each change saves as you click, and you will see "Saved."
- Tick Let search engines list it (needs 3 or more shipped items) only if you want the page to be found in search.
- Press Copy next to the page address to share it. Press Copy next to the badge code and paste it into your site or README. The badge always shows your latest ship.

Good to know
- Until you tick the search box, the page tells search engines not to list it. Even when ticked, it is only listed once you have 3 or more shipped items.
- The page lists what you published in your changelog. If nothing is published yet, it says "Nothing published yet."
- A small "Shipped with FoxPlug" link shows at the bottom of the page. On the Serial plan you get a tick, Hide the Shipped with FoxPlug link, to remove it.
- The badge has a light look by default, and a dark look if the badge address ends with ?theme=dark.
- There is also a separate "Building in public" badge in the same tab. It links to your public build log, not to this page.
- See https://foxplug.com/pricing for what each plan includes.
- FoxPlug's own open startup page is a live example: foxplug.com/p/foxplug.
What it does not do
- It never shows revenue, customers, visitors or releases unless you tick them. All of those start off.
- A revenue range is not your exact figure; only Show the exact figure shows the exact number.
- It does not publish anything you have not already published in your changelog.
