Hi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.

Backstory:

A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.

Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.

What did I end up building?

A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.

No signup is needed to try it.

A few example debates:

- who’s actually funny in The Office? (of course)

- programming language that sparks the most arguments

- app you would never delete from your phone

Stack: Laravel, Blade, Postgres, Filament for admin, and React for the swipe/tap voting page.

I’d appreciate feedback on:

- does this even make sense?

- does the voting loop feel fun or annoying?

- do the leaderboard/result pages make sense?

- does the content feel too broad?

- what debates would actually be interesting to vote on?

I updated the post for list formatting
