I built a transparent pay-to-rank discovery board for indie makers

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

Building a product is hard, but getting early traffic without a massive ad budget is even harder.

Most ad networks are blind money pits where your visibility disappears the second you stop paying. Meanwhile, directories hide who paid what behind closed doors.

I wanted something simpler and more honest, so I built getRanked (https://getrankedlive.com/en).

How it works:

Free Permanent Listing: List your product for free with do-follow click attribution.

100% Public Bids: Boost your rank with micro-payments. Every single dollar/rupiah is publicly visible—no secret auctions or hidden algorithms.

No Resets: Scores accumulate and never expire. You don't "rent" temporary ad banners; your position stays until someone outbids you.

Live Embed Badges: Dynamic SVG badges showing your live rank for your site or GitHub README.

Built 100% serverless on Nuxt 3 and Cloudflare D1.

Quick question for fellow builders:

Would you list your product on a transparent pay-to-rank board like this? Would love your honest feedback!

    Would builders pay for the ranking itself, or only if it reliably sends clicks? That seems like the real test for getRanked.
