Hey Product Hunt š
A few weeks ago outbid.lol blew up ā a simple pay-to-bid leaderboard that hit $200k+ in bids within days. Loved the concept, but watched two things kill it fast: whales locked in the top spots permanently (cracking the top 50 now costs $500+), and every category ā SaaS, AI, dev tools ā competed in one giant pile.
CrownHunt fixes both:
š Weekly resets ā the crown resets every week. Leading? You can pay to extend into next week instead of losing it all. Not leading? You get a fresh shot every Sunday.
šļø Category + overall rank ā you can be #1 in AI & Agents even while sitting at #4 overall, so you're not buried under whichever giant is spending the most that week.
šļø Live embeddable badge ā claim a spot and get a Markdown/HTML badge for your site or GitHub README that auto-updates with your live rank. Free, ongoing distribution every time someone visits your site.
š Transparent ledger + click tracking ā every boost is logged publicly, and outbound clicks are tracked per listing, so you can actually measure ROI instead of guessing.
š Low entry ā boosts start at $1.
Built this because I wanted the fun/chaos of outbid, minus "I'll never catch up" by week two.
Would love feedback ā especially on the extend-to-next-week mechanic and whether the categories cover what founders here actually build. Claim your crown š
