Rules

The boards

One boost shows up wherever that spend counts. The boards are the same listings, looked at through different windows of time.

• All-time

  The main board. Rank is the boost a listing is currently paying, and it holds until that boost expires. Free listings sit below every active boost, newest first.

• Today

  The current UTC day, midnight to midnight. Rank is what a listing has spent since midnight UTC, so the board resets when the next day starts.

• Explore

  Newest listings first, regardless of boost. Useful for finding what people shipped recently.

How ranking works

• A boost is a whole-dollar amount, $5 minimum, quoted in $1 steps. There is no ceiling — name your price.
• Every position costs $1 more than the boost it displaces. Claiming #1 is no exception — there is no premium for the top spot.
• Equal amounts keep the order they were paid in — the older boost holds the higher rank.
• Already listed? Submit the same URL and the board raises your own boost. You are charged the difference between your current boost and the new one, never the full amount twice.
• A boost runs 30 days from payment, then the listing drops back to the free tier. Boosts do not roll over and do not renew on their own.
• A free listing never expires. It cannot be removed for not paying, and its position only moves when newer listings are added.

Prices are recomputed from live board state at the moment you claim, so the number on a row is the price of that rank right now.

What you can list

Allowed:

• A product website, or an X handle — type @handle and it is stored as the matching x.com profile.
• One listing per product. A second submission of the same link takes you to the existing listing instead of creating a duplicate.
• Name, tagline and category are yours to set. Leave the name blank and the listing reads it from your page.

Not accepted:

• Chat and invite links — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Skype, Signal and similar. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
• Adult, NSFW and .xxx/.adult sites.
• Bare IP address links, or anything that is not a public http(s) page.
• Anything misleading about what the product is. Listings that do this get hidden.

How links are handled:

• Query strings and fragments are stripped, so affiliate, referral and tracking URLs will not survive listing. The link on your listing page points at the clean URL.
• Hosts are lowercased, www is dropped, and trailing slashes are removed.
• Short links from the common shorteners are expanded one hop to the real destination. If that cannot be resolved, the listing is rejected — paste the full URL instead.
• Platform links are keyed by what identifies them: github.com/owner/repo, apps.apple.com and play.google.com app IDs, x.com profiles and posts. Two different repos or two different apps never share a rank.

Categories

Every listing picks one of the categories in the bar at the top of the board. Each category has its own board with its own ranking, its own #1 price and its own claim button — the hero on a category page shows what #1 costs in that category. There is no category a listing can be boosted into without being listed there; a product belongs where you put it, and the board reflects that.

After you pay

• A completed payment is what claims the rank. Until checkout is live, nothing is charged and no rank changes.
• Your listing is public, and its outbound link is marked rel="nofollow sponsored". You are buying visibility, not a backlink or a passing link equity.
• Payments are not refundable once a rank is claimed. If a payment ever succeeds but the boost does not land on your listing, it gets fixed or refunded.
