Rules
codebid.lol is a public paid leaderboard. Money determines placement; repository signals are context only.
How ranking works
- Repositories are ranked by settled bid amount, highest first. Each repository appears once, at its highest settled bid.
- The bid form defaults to the current top amount plus $1.
- Equal bids keep settlement order. Matching a price never overtakes the earlier settled bid.
- Stars, forks, language, and description provide context but do not affect rank.
What you can list
- Only public GitHub repositories may be listed.
- Listing a repository does not prove ownership or imply endorsement by GitHub, its maintainers, or its contributors.
Payments and refunds
- Bids are whole US-dollar amounts of $1 or more. The application does not impose a ceiling.
- A signed Stripe webhook is the only path that records payment. Returning from Checkout does not create a listing.
- Refunds and active disputes deactivate an order. A won dispute restores it.
After you pay
- Being outbid does not trigger a refund. The repository remains on the board at its highest settled bid, lower in the ranking.
- GitHub metadata is a snapshot captured at checkout time, not a continuously refreshed feed.
