The noticeboard for builders
Martynas Koneliūnas, Editor · Vilnius · @mathynesRankBid claims $2,010 in 30 days and WorldMap.lol launched on Product Hunt, but the mechanic they are copying is unclear and the revenue figures are unverified.
At least 100 domains ending in .lol appeared in the three days to Tuesday 25 August, all copying a paid leaderboard mechanic. The mechanic is simple: pay to move higher on a list. RankBid's own page says "Bigger bid. Better position." and credits "outbid.lol" as its inspiration.
RankBid claims $2,010 in the last 30 days. WorldMap.lol, which invites users to "put your startup on the map", launched on Product Hunt with 195 votes and 39 comments. Both are among the 100 .lol domains first seen by us in that window.
The swarm includes at least 21 domains ending "-bid": hivebid.lol, buildbid.lol, leaderbid.lol, rankbid.lol and 17 others. Another 13 share the prefix "out-": outrace.lol, outbuilt.lol, outmap.lol and ten more. Revenue claims across the copies range from $0 to $2,010 in 30 days, but none of the figures are verified and the sources do not say how they were measured.
The mechanic being copied is named in RankBid's page text but not explained. The page says "Inspired by outbid.lol" and "Built by @Nick_333ch", and the landing page itself displays "$0 made 0 watching 0 visitors since launch" alongside the pitch. No source describes what outbid.lol does, what it earned, or when it launched.
The swarm is monetizing a format whose origin the sources do not establish. The copies are named after something, but what that something is and whether it worked are both unresolved.
The infrastructure routes transactions across Stripe and competitors to keep revenue flowing when one goes down.
PaymentKit has launched billing infrastructure that switches between payment processors when one fails. The service routes transactions through Stripe, Paddle, and other processors, moving to a backup when the primary is unavailable.
The open-source Twitter frontend that let users bypass login walls and rate limits has archived its repository and taken down all public instances.
Nitter, the open-source frontend that let users read Twitter without an account, has shut down after receiving cease and desist letters. The project's maintainer posted the notice on GitHub and archived the repository on 25 August. All public instances now show the same rate-limit error.

I BUILT A 6-PERSON COMPANY WITH AI AGENTS. I split the business into 6 jobs: -> RESEARCH finds opportunities -> OUTREACH finds prospects -> SALES qualifies leads -> BUILDER does the work -> SUPPORT handles customers -> FINANCE tracks the money one agent finishes -> the next https://t.co/2qu5q9YSL1 https://t.co/2Fkqcy4jBW

I've talked to 5-10 B2B founders in the past month who are doing $100k to $500k a month with an extremely lean team. It's literally just them, maybe 2-5 people, and LinkedIn is their number one acquisition channel. No cold outreach. No ads. No SDR team. And they're extremely

Had a super nice video chat today with @adriamatz. We talked about apps, marketing, and a bunch of other random things. @adriamatz shared his story about copycats targeting his apps, and I genuinely thought it was crazy. Copying an app screen by screen? Come on. With vibe

Proud to announce that I've acquired a stake in ListKit. 10 years ago I was sending cold emails one by one with no data and no infrastructure. Every business I've built since came down to reaching the right people at scale. ListKit is the first platform that gives a first-time https://t.co/2XsC8Ufahs

Yes each of my sites is a Termius server with this kind of start command cd /srv/http/hotelist.com && tm tm is a script made by Claude Code which puts it in a tmux session tied to the project name (from its folder) That means I always log back into my tmux session for each https://t.co/TDNeWmMEc4

You can call yourself an entrepreneur even if you haven’t even started vibecoding yet. Entrepreneur-in-the-making. I’m a big fan of not gatekeeping things that liberate people. https://t.co/D2R890PFYV
