Hey Product Hunt, I make small iOS apps on the side and I have never understood the App Store charts. They are a black box. You ship, you wait, and a ranking appears that you can't read and can't influence except by buying Search Ads at a price nobody shows you. So I built the opposite. juiceapp.store is a leaderboard for indie iOS apps with exactly one rule: the highest payment holds #1. You paste your App Store link, pick an amount, pay with Stripe, and your app moves up. Someone wants your spot, they pay a dollar more. That's the whole thing. There is no account and no algorithm, and nobody is sitting on a "featured" button. A few details that matter: Your score is your single highest payment, not a sum, so you can't grind your way up with ten small ones. Ties go to whoever paid first. Refunds and disputes fall off the board, only confirmed payments rank. Taking #1 costs what #1 paid plus one dollar, and the page tells you that number before you type anything. If you ever hold #1, even for a minute, you stay in the Hall of Fame with how long you held and what you paid. And every app gets its own page with a share card that updates with its rank. Right now my own two apps, miniHabits and Foyer, sit at #1 and #2 for $2 and $1. I put them there so the board wouldn't be empty on launch day. I would honestly prefer they get knocked off today. It's built with Astro, Postgres and Stripe, and runs on Railway. One SQL query builds the board. I wrote it in a day and I am sure some of you will find the edge case I missed; please do. Two things I want to hear from you: what would make #1 worth a real amount of money to you (traffic, a badge, a tweet from the board, something else), and what is the first thing you would try to break? If you juice your app today, reply with the link and I will answer with your rank.
