Indie dev builds paid leaderboard site with Fable 5 by just clicking 'Yes'
ThePeterMick · x · 2026-09-10
Developer ThePeterMick launched bidbook.lol, a pay-to-climb leaderboard where projects bid money to rank higher. The site drew 2,630 visitors since launch with $402 in total bids, and the #1 spot costs around $50.
The entire site was built with the AI coding tool Fable 5 by clicking "Yes" over and over — a stack of PHP + jQuery he jokes is "YES Engineering, the modern software engineering." He spent $2 on the domain and hopes to recoup it quickly.
