SnakeRank: The leaderboard is a snake. Bid your way to the head.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Last week I watched a pay-to-rank leaderboard do $200k in seven days, then watched 300 clones of it show up. Every one of them was the same thing: a list, sorted by price. That felt like a waste of a good idea. A board where money pushes you up and down is already a game — it just wasn't being drawn like one. So SnakeRank draws it as one. The board is a Nokia-style Snake that plays itself. #1 is the head. Every startup below it is a segment of the body. When someone outbids you, you get pushed back down the snake, and you can watch it happen. How it works: • Drop a URL, pick an amount, pay. No signup. • Rank = total dollars committed. Bids stack, so climbing only costs you the difference. • Ties go to whoever got there first — matching the leader buys you #2, not #1. • New spots start at $5. Built with Next.js, Neon and Dodo Payments. The snake is a hand-rolled canvas renderer that pathfinds around its own body, which was both more fun and more annoying than I expected. Would love feedback on the game itself — especially whether the board reads clearly on mobile. — Aryan
