About
Bidrise.live is a public project leaderboard for indie makers and side-project founders.
Publish your project for free
Create an account, add your project name, website and a short pitch, then publish. A free listing goes live at once, with its own shareable page and a badge for your site or README. There is no review queue.
Bid to rank above the free listings
Bids are optional one-time payments of any whole-dollar amount from $1 to $10,000 through Stripe. They add up, the highest total ranks first, and the top three spots get more room on the board. There is no subscription and no auction end date, and being outbid does not refund a payment.
See the attention it receives
Every card's bids, payment dates, impressions and outbound clicks are public, and so is the site's own traffic. The code is open source (MIT) and the data is open (CC BY 4.0).
Listings do not guarantee traffic, clicks or sales.
