outbidking.lol: The live pay-to-rank leaderboard for indie products & AI

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm Ankit (@shipxankit), creator of Outbid King. As a solo indie hacker building AI products, distribution has always been the hardest puzzle. We are faced with two painful options: 1. Spend $500–$2,000 on Google/Meta ads that convert at 0.5%. 2. Pay $200–$300 to traditional directories and wait 3 weeks for an editorial review. I wanted something fast, competitive, transparent, and fun. So I built Outbid King (outbidking.lol) in 48 hours with Next.js 16 and Supabase Realtime. Here’s why it’s different: • $1 Entry: No subscriptions, no pitch decks, no approval queues. • Instant Live Updates: Real-time Postgres CDC streams bids to all connected browsers in 0ms. • Prestige Crowns: Rank #1 gets the Gold Crown 👑, #2 gets Silver 🥈, #3 gets Bronze 🥉. • Real Traffic & SEO: Every listing receives a dofollow backlink and verified click tracking. Currently, I'm holding #1 King with @shipxankit ($2). To dethrone me today and take the top spotlight, it only costs $3! I'd love to hear your feedback on: 1. What categories or founder perks should we add next? 2. How do you feel about dynamic attention markets replacing traditional static directories? I'll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions and check out your launches! Who's taking the #1 Throne today? 👑
