How it works
Paste a repo URL
Any public GitHub repository. It goes on the board the moment your payment clears.
Choose your bid
Any whole dollar from $1 upward. That figure becomes the lot's score on the board.
The board sorts by total
Highest cumulative dollars sits at #1. No algorithm, no editorial pick, no decay.
Outbid to overtake
To jump a listing, bid more than its current total. Every dollar you've ever put in stays counted.
Bids are final
Nothing is refunded, spent down, or expired. The number on the board is the real number.
Stacking
Bidding on a repo that's already listed adds to its existing total — not a duplicate entry.
Why GitHub repos?
Startup-directory boards sell visibility to anyone with a landing page. repobid narrows that to a specific, high-intent audience: developers who are already browsing real projects — the exact behaviour that produces a genuine star, a genuine contributor, or a genuine hire.
The niche is smaller than "everyone with a product," but the traffic is higher quality and actually relevant to what repo owners want.
Revenue model
repobid keeps 100% of every bid. There's nothing to escrow or refund — the only thing "delivered" is placement on the board, granted the instant a bid clears. No ad system, no revenue share, no subscription.
Built for developers
Born from the outbid.lol / firstbid.lol wave of pay-to-rank boards, rebuilt around one niche: developers discovering and starring real open-source work.
