Hi! I'm Tomasz, the maker of Rank Anything. I noticed that people like to rank things and often want to know which thing is best so I made an app for it. It started as a little weekend project but I've been getting some positive responses so I might keep working on it. Feel free to try it out and make some lists and upvote / downvote stuff! It should be mostly bug-free but it's a very fresh app so it might still be rough around the edges. If it bugs out, feel free to write a comment or ping me on X / Twitter (https://x.com/@tomasz_fm https://x.com/@tomasz_fm). I'll appreciate your feedback :)

I really like this idea. If you find a right way to market it, it will be huge!

  Thanks! I'm glad to hear this! So far I'm focusing on SEO and just posting about it on my Twitter. I just tweak it based on the feedback. I barely added the sitemap a few days ago so there is plenty of low hanging fruit left. If you (or anyone else) have any ideas on how I could promote it, let me know!

You know you're a math geek, when your first reaction is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-ordering_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-ordering_theorem

  But you are something else when instead you think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theore...

I really like this idea! May I suggest that on mobile, maybe each ranking should be rearranged to sit vertically instead of horizontally. Right now, the ranking number, upvote/downvote, and item name takes up the same row. This causes a lot of wasted space and awkward reading. If you switched the horizontal row to column layout on mobile, it'd be way easier to read. Excited to see where this ends up!
