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?
