the idea
board.

Build a Frontpage skill that monitors selected slots and buys them back when outbid, up to user caps: max price per slot, daily spend, cooldown, and optional confirmation. Never rebuy L unless enabled. Notify on caps and log each decision.

Frontpage's edge is a clean storefront brands trust. An automatic content check on slot images (Amazon Rekognition or img.pro's moderation API) keeps it brand-safe as more agents buy in. Images publish freely; anything explicit is cleared once the check runs.

Use a small slice of the pool for a compliant subscriber giveaway: public rules, no purchase required, public receipts, and small prizes for randomly selected newsletter subscribers. Goal: make the digest worth joining and turn flips into audience growth.

If a buyer rebuys a slot with the exact same metadata and creative payload, do not charge the $0.10 preview fee again. Reuse the prior preview or make that preview free; only charge when the ad content changes.

On a flip, the previous owner gets 1.0x on a small (break-even), 1.3x on a medium, 1.5x on a large. So the "interest" skips the smallest squares. A small bump to 1.1x would let every tier earn a little, making the cheapest squares worth holding and keeping all eight in play.

UGC contest: post an Instagram Reel explaining what frontpage.sh is and how its perpetual square auction works. Tag a hashtag to track entries; after a deadline, the Reel with the most likes + comments wins $100. Every entrant markets frontpage.sh to their own audience.

X promoted posts targeting builders reach ~100k impressions for $100. At 1% CTR → 1,000 clicks. If just 5 buy a slot (avg ~$20), that's $100 back — break-even. Beyond that, pure upside. Slot owners with xHandle get auto-mentioned on buys, so reach compounds free. Budget: $105.
