listing
Free to list. Submit your website (or an X @handle), name, tagline and an optional description (600 characters) and you're live on the leaderboard immediately. Optionally, publish the displayed DNS TXT token to prove control of the domain — verified listings get a ✓ badge; it never affects rank or visibility. Limited to 3 new listings per hour and 10 per day from the same connection — resubmitting a url that's already listed doesn't count against that.
ranking
Rank is by money — total paid, whole dollars. A new paid listing starts at a $5 minimum, up to $999,999. Equal totals never bump each other: whoever reached that total first keeps the higher rank. To raise your rank, submit your already-listed url or @handle again with an amount — enter your new TOTAL (at least $1 more than your current total) and you're charged only the difference; no one can take your rank by matching it. Free listings are always welcome and rank below every paid listing, by click count as before. Paid placement is disclosed on the row itself: the board shows each listing's paid total, its product page carries a "paid placement" label, and outbound links on paid listings are tagged rel="sponsored". The today leaderboard ranks by money paid in the last 24 hours instead — each confirmed payment counts toward it for 24h from confirmation. Payments are non-refundable, and a completed payment is what claims rank — a pending or failed payment changes nothing.
categories
Every listing belongs to one category chosen at submission. To change it, email the contact address.
urls
Query parameters (affiliate/tracking codes) are stripped from listing links. Link-shortener URLs are rejected — submit the destination directly. Chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and similar) are not allowed.
visits
The visit and "online" counters are ours, measured server-side — no analytics scripts, no cookies, no third party. A visit is one hashed IP address per rolling 24 hours, so returning on a later day counts again: the total is deduped daily, not a count of distinct people. We could not produce that count if we wanted to, because the hashes are deleted after 24 hours. "Online" is hashed IP addresses seen in the last 5 minutes. Obvious bots are excluded by user agent, which catches honest crawlers but not scripted requests that disguise themselves.
clicks
Clicks are public and counted server-side on the outbound redirect (/go/[slug]). One click per hashed IP address per listing per rolling 24 hours. Obvious bots and scripted requests (curl, wget, headless browsers, crawlers) are excluded. We may remove or withhold traffic that is automated, incentivized, self-generated at scale, or otherwise intended to manipulate rank.
privacy
We hash your IP address before storing it — never the raw address — to dedupe clicks and enforce listing limits. That's the only thing it's used for.
moderation
We may hide listings for scams, malware, impersonation, NSFW content, or traffic manipulation. A hidden listing no longer redirects visitors or receives counted clicks.
edits & removal
No self-service editing. To fix a typo, change a url, or take your listing down, email amantwd@gmail.com. A listing we take down stops appearing on the board, stops redirecting visitors, and stops counting clicks; we keep the underlying record so the moderation history stays auditable.
To report a listing, submit its slug and a 10–1000 character reason to POST /api/report. Founders may use the same contact address to claim a listing, request a correction, or appeal moderation or a traffic adjustment. We review reports. Takedowns, restores, and click-count corrections are written to an internal audit log, available on request via the contact address.
faq
How is the leaderboard ranked?
Rank is by money paid, then by clicks. Each paid listing has a total; whoever holds the higher total holds the higher spot, and equal totals never bump each other — the first to reach a total keeps it. Free listings rank below every paid listing, ordered by click count.
Is it free to list a tool?
Yes. Listing is free and immediate — submit a URL, name, and tagline and the listing goes live right away, ranked by clicks below any paid listings. Free listings are rate-limited to 3 per hour and 10 per day from one connection.
How much does paid ranking cost?
New paid listings start at $5. To raise your rank, enter a new total at least $1 above your current one and pay only the difference — nobody can match your total to take your spot. Totals cap at $999,999, and payments are non-refundable.
How are clicks counted?
Clicks are counted server-side on the outbound redirect — one click per IP address per listing per 24 hours. Bots, scripted requests, and repeat clicks are excluded. Every listing's click count is public on the board and on its product page.
How do I edit or remove my listing?
Email the contact address shown in the footer. There is no self-service editing: founders can claim a listing, fix a typo, change a URL, or have it taken down. A listing we take down stops appearing on the board, stops redirecting, and stops counting clicks. Takedowns, restores, and click-count corrections are written to an internal audit log.
How is my privacy handled?
Only a salted hash of your IP is stored, never the raw address, and it is used to dedupe clicks and enforce rate limits. Hashes are deleted after 24 hours, click events after 30 days, and reports after 90 days. No cookies, no analytics scripts, no third parties.
