Because ranking your favorite movies, restaurants, or life priorities shouldn't require a spreadsheet and a statistics degree.
Trying to rank more than a handful of items is cognitively overwhelming. Should your third-favorite restaurant really be above your fourth? How do you even compare a cozy Italian spot to a trendy sushi bar?
Ranks a Lot! breaks this down into the simplest possible question: which one do you prefer?
By showing you just two items at a time, the app lets your intuition guide you. No agonizing over complex trade-offs—just quick, honest choices that reveal your true preferences over time.
Behind each comparison is the ELO algorithm—the same system used to rank chess players worldwide. When you pick a winner:
New items start at 1000 ELO. After ~20-30 comparisons per item, rankings stabilize remarkably well.
One tap to choose. Keyboard shortcuts for power users. No friction.
ELO has ranked millions of chess players. Now it ranks your lists.
Watch your true preferences emerge from simple A/B choices.

Ranks a Lot! was created as an exploration in decision-making tools and the elegant mathematics behind competitive ranking systems. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and a healthy appreciation for the difficulty of choosing between two equally good pizza places.
