Hey Product Hunt 👋
A wave of "pay-to-rank" boards showed up this year — you pay, you rank, that's
the whole product. I liked the honesty and disliked almost every implementation:
one flat list, click counts hidden, and a quiet "score" re-ranking you anyway.
kickbid.lol is the version that doesn't hide anything:
— Rank is the bid. The sum of what a listing has paid, nothing else. Ties go to
whoever got there first.
— Every listing publishes its click count, so you can work out cost per click
before you bid instead of after.
— 28 separately ranked categories plus a rolling 24-hour board, so you're not
only competing with the biggest budget on the site.
— $5 minimum, pay what you want above it. No subscription, no revenue share,
no ads anywhere on the board.
The part I didn't expect to be the interesting part: there is no `rank` column
and no `total` column in the database. Both are derived at read time from an
append-only ledger of bids. Storing rank means rewriting every row below a
bidder on every payment; storing a total destroys the timestamps the 24-hour
board needs. Once both are derived, "raise your bid and pay only the
difference" stops being a feature you build — a listing's bid *is* the sum of
its payments, so you charge the gap, append one row, and land on exactly the
right total with no special case. Write-up:

The board is wide open right now, so #1 is cheap. Curious what you'd want next —
per-category click leaderboards? A public API over the ledger?
