Pay to rank. Go outside to keep it. He shipped touchinggrass.lol in two days, then bid $1 on himself.

Last updated · Content reviewed

Marc Llopart, better known as @larsnow, is a Catalan indie hacker and CTO who built touchinggrass.lol. You pay for a public row. Then every 24 hours you post a verified outdoor photo of real grass, or the score rots 10% a day. He wrote the spec on 24 August 2026, shipped the site and Stripe himself by the evening of the 26th, and posted it on the 27th. The first listing on the board is his own product, Corvidly, at $1. He also runs Luodaint, the studio behind Feedjolt, Corvidly, and influ.codes, and he is CTO at Medullar. He is a trail runner and a dad of two, which is why a two-day ship still felt slow to him.

Our take

Clone week already priced bid size. A straight outbid board is a checkout with a leaderboard skin. Marc made grass the ranking function: money gets you in, sweat keeps you there. The first 48 hours were honest. 36 visitors, 17 outbound clicks, $1 raised, and one founder who had to bid on himself. That is the product working as designed. If you are launching a board this week, steal his last line, not his mechanic: grow your X audience before you grow the leaderboard.

Two kids, two days, one board

The idea landed on 24 August 2026. Marc has two kids, so nights were the only window. He still shipped it himself. X login. Stripe in whole dollars. A vision model that has to see real outdoor grass, plus GPS EXIF on the photo. Screenshots, stock meadows, and a WeWork houseplant do not count. Three flags and the proof is gone. Site and payments went live the evening of the 26th. The public post went out on the 27th.

Why grass, not another clone

By the time he sat down, clone week had already priced bid size. A rank you can buy forever is an ads.txt file with extra steps. Marc wanted a ranking function, not a checkout skin. Money gets the row. A daily grass photo keeps the number. Miss 24 hours and a $100 spot decays 10% a day. Day 7, it freezes. One photo, or a $5 fine, brings that rotted score back. He loves the outdoors and thinks indie hackers need to touch more grass. The meme was the product.

36 visitors and a $1 bid on himself

He listed Corvidly at $1 so the board would not be a blank joke, turned payments on the night of the 26th, and posted on the 27th. People showed up. Nobody else paid. The honest launch story is 36 visitors, 17 outbound clicks, and one founder who had to bid on himself. That is not a failed weekend. That is what a small X audience looks like when the product asks you to go outside. His note to the next founder is simple: grow the audience before you launch.
