An Android app to rank your favorite things, using simple pair-wise matchups. - dessalines/rank-my-favs

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this:

  • Network (1976)
  • Lone Star (1996)
  • Devils (1971)
  • The Seventh Seal (1957)
  • … Many more films

But how do you rank these?

You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists.

A much easier method is to use pairwise comparisons, which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you.

Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced Glicko rating system, to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking.

    That’s fun! It’s silly, but I do enjoy thinking about what my favorite thing in xyz category is and jotting them down, from time to time.

    Would be cool if this included some pre-populated sample lists out of the box. Love that the import option is readily available though.

    Also, mild inconcevenice - after I view a list, rank some things, maybe repeat a few times, pressing back takes me from list, to rank, etc, when I want it to go back to all lists page. If that makes sense.

      Another would-be-nice - a button to sort the list alphabetically, so I can see what’s already on it.

        There’s a search button that would probably serve that purpose, but you could open up an issue on the github for it.

          Is there? I might be blind, or the F-droid version might be behind. Either way, not a big deal, but I don’t see it.

            The current version is 0.3.1, I think f-droid is behind.

              Thanks for updating it! Newer version is all around much better.

              Only nitpicky wishlist item I have left is for an undo button on the match screen. (Though it’s not really needed since you can reset an item’s stats.)

                Another thing you can do now (probably even better than clearing stats), is go to that item, and force-train it a bunch more. The rating algorithm in use is the same one they use for chess matches, so it can handle a “loss” or a “misclick” by doing more matches eventually beating the old one.

    Thanks for making this. I love it. Idk if this is the right method but whenever I’m conflicted with multiple things, i instantly rank them to get which one to start first.

      No probs! Ya I’ve noticed it can help even for small things.
