Rules
How ranking works
Rank is your bid. The board sorts every listing by bid, highest first. Bids are whole dollars, $5 minimum: the amount you set is your total bid, and that bid is your rank.
Paying less than the current #1 still places you. Your amount decides your rank, and you slot in above or below by it.
Re-entering the same URL or @handle raises that listing, and you pay only the difference between your current bid and your new one.
No one can take your rank by paying your difference. A new listing claims the rank its own bid buys: it slots in by its own amount and never displaces yours.
Platform links (App Store, Play Store, GitHub) are keyed by path, so different apps never share a bid. Query strings are stripped and never stored.
Leaderboards
Every listing belongs to one leaderboard: Startups, AI, Dev tools, E-commerce, Crypto, Agencies, Creators, Health & fitness, Gaming, Finance, Jobs & hiring, Freelancers, Substack. The same product can be listed on multiple boards, each claiming its own rank.
A busy board raises what a new spot costs, so drive-by $5 clones can't crowd out real builders. The floor steps up in tiers as listings pass 100 and 300.
What you can list
A product website or an X @handle. One listing per URL or handle per board: the same key raises, it does not duplicate.
Chat and invite links are banned: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. Affiliate and tracking query parameters are stripped from every listing.
After you pay
A completed payment is what counts. Listings go live only after payment clears.
Your listing is public, and every click goes through a tracked redirect that lands on your URL, free of any query parameters you never entered.
If another listing bids past yours, you get an email: the moment your rank drops, you'll know exactly what it costs to take it back.
Alerts cover regular raises only: a takeover locks the top for 3 hours, so no alert is sent for the lock itself. Once it lifts, normal bidding and alerts resume.
Takeover
Pay 5× the current #1 bid and you lock the top spot for three hours, one takeover at a time.
Your full amount becomes your bid, and raising while your takeover is locked refreshes the clock. When the lock expires your bid stays, and you rank wherever it buys.
