Hot or Not, But For Anything
July 12, 2018 8:00 AM   Subscribe

Is anyone aware of a ready-made generic "hot or not"-type application, or even a code library, that I can throw an arbitrary list of items at (not just selfies of people making duckfaces)?

For cases where I and my co-workers need to rank-order long lists of things (for priority-setting, mainly) I would like to try an approach to run the things through a series of two-alternative forced choices to see if that method yields better results. I need something that will present two randomly-selected items from a list, give the user an option to choose one item as "better" than the other, and then repeat indefinitely. It needs to also record which items received however many "better than" votes. Given a couple days I could probably dust off my dormant code skillz and write one, but I'd rather not....

Best answer: Previously? I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for.

From the previous question, Ranker (on Sourceforge) might be what you want, if you want a program, where All Our Ideas is designed for public-facing online polls, but you can create private ones only you can rank (copied from Rhaomi's comment).
