A RNKLing platform that uses merge sort to help you order things you care about. Music, mostly, but other stuff we love.
Think of it as a decision-making framework for people who have too many opinions and not enough organizational systems.
We show you two items. You pick one. Repeat until everything is RNKL'd. The algorithm figures out the rest.
It's a merge sort, which is efficient and reduces the number of comparisons you have to make. We're not monsters.
Nowhere. It stays in your browser's local storage.
We don't have a database. We don't want your data. We barely want to maintain this website. Your RNKLings are between you and your browser.
Yes, in a few ways as long as they involve copy to clipboard. We're working on direct links to social media sites, but TBH, they're all kind of awful in their own ways so we're leaving those choices up to you.
You can screenshot them like it's 2015. Very authentic. Very retro.
Because you'd overthink it and be so overwhelmed by the volume of information that you would spend three hours moving things around, then get bored, and never finish.
The algorithm forces you to make micro-decisions without seeing the big picture, which prevents analysis paralysis. Honestly, we're secretly doing you a favor.
RNKLscape: Deep dives. Complete collections of media. It can get long so we've added the ability to save your progress automatically, but fair warning, commitment is required.
RNKLets: Quick hits. Daily challenges. Bite-sized rankings. Low commitment, high opinions.
RNKLzone: Meta experiences. Tournaments, consensus building, chaos. Still figuring this one out.
Sure. Use the contact page. We'll add it to the list.
No promises on timeline. We have jobs. Mostly. This is very much a passion side project.
Because it looks cool AF, and nostalgia is a powerful drug.
Also, it hides the fact that we're not great at modern web design. Or any design really.
Depends on your relationship with certainty, and Spotify. (Right now they're on my sh!t list.)
Playlists let you vibe. RNKL makes you confront the reality that you have a definitive opinion about which <insert item here> is #47 in your personal RNKLing.
The system makes you choose anyway because the system doesn't have time for people who lack conviction.
No skipsies.
Yes. Your opinions are allowed to evolve. We're not your high school yearbook.
Just start a new RNKLing session. Your old results stay saved in case you want to see how wrong you were six months ago.
Because we haven't built them yet and "Coming Soon" sounds more mysterious than "We don't know what the f*ck to put here."
Vault and Access will unlock when we figure out how to handle user accounts when we get over our existential crisis about data privacy. So, who knows.
No, but the website works on mobile. That's basically the same thing.
If you desperately need a native app, you can add it to your home screen and pretend.
No. We're just fans making a website, but if corporate partnerships see the value in something like this, we will sell out for the right price.
REMINDER: all content belongs to respective owners. We're just providing the framework for people to argue about track listings. We respect your IP, but we also like Fair Use.
Check the contact page. We'll either answer it or add it to this FAQ so future people think we're very thorough.
Absolutely not.
But you're here anyway, so you might as well RNKL something.
