Launching This isn’t a link dump. It’s a Your profile. Bid for the homepage. You get a public profile — themes, links, socials, meeting booking. To sit on our homepage, you either: • list free for 7 days (share a public post), or • bid. Highest bid holds #1 for the week. If your page can’t compete for attention, a prettier bio link won’t fix that. We made the attention explicit. → Built this. Shipping it live. Would love early creators on the board.

Buy lives for your site or social profile and it joins a public board with a clickable card. Every purchase takes 1 life from every other link.
