Outbid.host is a self-hostable bidding board framework. It runs on Supabase edge functions and provides a REST API for managing listings. The board itself serves as a demo/flagship instance with real listings and bids. It tracks clicks per listing and provides a stats endpoint. The self-hosting angle means anyone can spin up their own bidding board using the same infrastructure.
Our take
An interesting meta-board - it is both a live bidding board and a product for hosting your own. The Supabase edge function architecture is modern and fast. Click data exists but is limited (few listings have meaningful click counts), so CPC should be taken with a grain of salt. Best for indie hackers curious about the bidding board meta-trend.
