I built a billboard where 100 indie projects compete for the #1 spot. Here's what it looks like.

Hey everyone! 👋

Remember the Million Dollar Homepage from 2005? I wanted to build a modern version where spots aren't permanent and projects compete for visibility.

So I built BumpOne.lol — a live, gamified billboard for indie hackers, startups, and developer tools.

Here's how it works:

👑 100 slots. One King. Only 100 projects can appear on the billboard. The #1 project gets the biggest spot, right in the center.

⚔️ Bump your way up. Projects can pay to climb the rankings and knock others down. Previous spending carries forward when you bump again.

📡 Live rank battles. Real-time ranking changes, displacement alerts, and sound effects make the competition visible.

🪦 The Graveyard. Projects pushed out of the top 100 aren't forgotten — they're preserved in an archive.

Tech stack: Next.js 15, Supabase, Cloudflare Pages, Dodo Payments.

The billboard just launched with 100 open slots, starting at $10.

I'd genuinely love your feedback:

Does this seem like a fun way to discover and promote indie projects, or would you rather see a different ranking mechanism?

I'm especially interested in what you'd change before putting your own project on it.
