SwipeRank - rank is earned, never bought

by
Swipe right or left on SaaS products. Every rank is earned by real swipes. Boosts buy exposure in the deck, never position on the board.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 outbid.lol launched a while back - a leaderboard where the #1 spot goes to whoever pays most. It did well, and a wave of clones followed, all with the same premise: rank is for sale. I wanted to build the inverse. SwipeRank is a swipe deck for SaaS products. You swipe right or left, and the score is Elo - every product starts at 1000 and moves with each swipe. The K-factor shrinks as volume grows, so an early burst of votes can't hold a score a product hasn't earned. You can pay, but only for exposure. A boost makes your card get dealt more often, capped at 4x, for a window you choose. It cannot move your score by a single point - and that's enforced in Postgres, not just promised in the copy. The score column rejects any write that didn't come from a swipe, so the boost code physically can't touch it. Anyone can back any product too, not just the owner. No accounts. Listing gives you a token that lives in your browser, and that token is the only thing that can edit it. $5 to list, one time. More a spam filter than a business model. It's early, and the board is small, so every swipe visibly moves things right now. What I'd most like to know: does the ranking feel fair once you've swiped through a few? Built with Claude Code.
