Rules

codebid.lol is a public paid leaderboard. Money determines placement; repository and profile signals are context only.

How repository 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 share the same rank; settlement order only decides who appears first within the tie.
Stars, forks, language, and description provide context but do not affect rank.

Anyone may add to any GitHub username's lifetime total; no ownership proof is required.
A builder's rank is the sum of every settled top-up on that username. To take a seat, your lifetime total must exceed the seat above you.
The bid form adds a whole-dollar top-up to that total; paying more than needed simply builds a larger total.
Equal lifetime totals share the same rank; followers decide who appears first within the tie.
Followers, total stars, and yearly contributions are a checkout-time snapshot and provide context, not ranking signals.

Only public GitHub repositories and usernames may be listed.
Listing does not prove ownership or imply endorsement by GitHub, its maintainers, its contributors, or the developer themselves.

Being outbid does not trigger a refund. The listing remains on the board at its paid amount, lower in the ranking.
GitHub metadata is a snapshot captured at checkout time, not a continuously refreshed feed.
