Turn Ranking Into a Competitive, Bid-Driven Experience

BidBoard is a ready-to-use Next.js application for building a pay-to-rank leaderboard. Instead of ranking entries by an algorithm alone, it lets users bid for a higher position, so the highest bidder takes the top spot and visibility is decided openly, in real time.

Key Features

• Pay-to-rank system: Users bid to secure a higher position on the leaderboard.
• Real-time updates: The leaderboard updates instantly when a bid is placed, without reloading.
• Secure Stripe payments: Stripe checkout with verified webhooks handles paid bids.
• Admin panel: Manage settings, control bids, and monitor the leaderboard from one place.
• Flexible bidding controls: Adjust minimum bid amounts, increment values, currency, and other parameters.
• Timed board takeovers: Run time-limited ranking campaigns where positions can change over time.
• Re-bids pay only the difference: Returning bidders pay just the gap to their new bid.
• Listing details from the site: Entries can pull their details directly from the listed site.
• Branding and legal pages in admin: Add your branding and manage legal pages without editing code.
• Click tracking and trending: Built-in click tracking helps surface trending entries.
• Responsive design: The interface works smoothly across desktop and mobile devices.
• SEO-friendly, clean code: Built with clean code and structured data for better search visibility and fast performance.
