Indie hacker Jonathan Wilke shared stats for his auction-based ranking site outbid.lol: since launching on August 19th, it has garnered over 1.06 million visitors with 2,000+ concurrent users. The traffic spike crashed the initial analytics provider, forcing a switch to datafa.st. The highest bid reached $10,001, a $100k acquisition offer was received, and at least 10 copycats emerged on the first day.
