"Bid to be #1 — Real competition for indie hackers"
The public leaderboard where websites bid real money to claim the top spot. Outbid, get seen, get clicks.
Hey ProductHunt! 👋
I'm Vishal . Just shipped launchbid.dev in 5 days.
What inspired me:
@outbid_lol proved something simple: real stakes beat
algorithms. But I realized this works even better for
Indian makers who lack LOCAL competitive platforms.
The problem I'm solving:
Builders want visibility. ProductHunt, BetaList, HN —
they're global. Indian makers get buried. They need a
place to compete LOCALLY with real consequences.
The solution:
launchbid: Pay $2 to claim #1 in your category.
Someone outbids you? You can fight back. No ads. No
algorithm. Just pure competition.
How it evolved while building:
- Day 1-3: Built core leaderboard + payments
- Day 4: Realized multi-category model was key (not
just one leaderboard)
- Day 5: Added "Share on X" button (went live)
- Day 1 post-launch: First bid came in. Then another.
Then someone OUTBID them.
Launch day results:
✓ 57 visitors
✓ $117 revenue (real money)
✓ 12 categories claimed
✓ Multiple bidding wars
✓ 1% conversion rate (top-tier)
This is the first product I shipped that had revenue on
day 1 (not vanity metrics).
Happy to answer questions! What would you try #1 for? 🚀
