Competitive Pet Ranking: Data Science Meets Cuteness.

Most pet contests are just popularity games—whoever has the most followers wins. We thought that was unfair to the genuinely charming pets out there. Enter PawVersus: The first pet ranking platform driven by the ELO algorithm (the same system used in Chess and Pro-Gaming).

"Hi Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m medivh, the creator of PawVersus. Like many of you, I love pet photos, but I noticed a recurring problem in online pet contests: they always reward 'longevity' or 'social following' rather than the pet's actual appeal. A great photo from a new user often gets buried under thousands of 'likes' from established accounts. I built PawVersus to change that. By implementing the ELO rating system (using Next.js and Supabase), I’ve created a platform where every pet has a fair shot. Whether your pet joined today or a year ago, their rank is determined by their performance in randomized, head-to-head matches. It’s been a fascinating journey combining data science with something as joyful as pet photography. I’m eager to hear your thoughts on the ELO balance, the UI, and of course, I want to see your pets on the leaderboard! I'll be here all day to answer your questions. Let the battles begin! 🐾"
