An indie developer mutual-review initiative has signed up 440 developers, with 295 apps scheduled to exchange genuine reviews starting October 15. The pitch: get ratings from day one, rank higher, and validate your product sooner instead of waiting months. The organizer is pushing for 300 apps.

A low-cost cold-start channel for indie devs — though note potential app-store policy risks around reciprocal reviews.
