<p>The whole website is up for grabs. You pay a small amount, write a prompt, and an AI rebuilds the entire page into whatever you described. Then the next person can hijack it from you, but they pay double what you did. It starts at $1.</p>
<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Every takeover is saved as an immutable version, so the full history of the site stays browsable.</li>
<li>Each version gets its own generated OG image, so a shared link shows what the site looked like at that moment.</li>
<li>There's a public JSON endpoint at <code>/api/state</code> with the current price, who holds the site, and how many hijacks have happened.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Update: the first hijack happened</strong></p>
<p>A few hours after launch, someone named CB paid $1 and turned my entire site into a landing page for their startup, Howly.io (a HubSpot visualizer). Honestly the smartest $1 ad buy I've seen. Now it costs $2 to take it from them, and their version stays in the history forever.</p>
<p><strong>What I'd love feedback on</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sandboxing AI-generated pages so a prompt can't break out or do anything nasty</li>
<li>Moderation: how would you handle prompts that try to make the page explicit or abusive?</li>
<li>Is doubling the price the right curve, or would it stall too fast?</li>
</ul>
<p>Happy to answer anything about the build.</p>
