Around two years ago, a user named ForgetAboutIt suggested a personalized ranking system on our ideas page. It includes an example with Pokémon that shows you a large selection of Pokémon, and the user repeatedly chooses one or more favorites from a small selection. After a while, the system knows which is preferred and shows it as a favorite. The user can repeat these steps until a top 10 or top 20 of favorites is selected. The user can drag & drop favorites to make a final order. We like the idea but it didn’t receive many votes. Recently, another user, mrsecretoo, posted an enthusiastic comment, which brought it to our attention again. So we’ve decided to give the idea a chance.
We want to present our Favorite Picker to you. It’s a first test version, so please expect bugs. It currently uses the top 200 as starting point. When you’re done and have your favorites, nothing is done with these, and the selection is discarded when you close the browser.
Please let us know what you think about this in the comments. If many people like it, we will give it a visible place on the site. “Favorite Picker” is the name of the original script. If you have a good name, please put your suggestion in the comments. If you’d like to see specific features, please don’t hesitate to let us know, too.
We have some ideas in mind:
- Allowing the user to choose the starting set, like the current top 100, top 250, top 1000, specific lists, personal lists, personal ratings (e.g., all 10’s), or even the results from the advanced search tool.
- Allowing the user to save the list of favorites to a new personal list, which also stores the order.
- Allowing the user to choose the “batch size”, the number of babes on the page. It’s currently set to 20.
- Allowing the user to stop, save the picking process, and resume later.
- Using the results to influence the top 100 rankings.
UPDATE 07/08/2024: After reading your feedback, we realize that this idea does not seem enjoyable to most people. It’s too time-consuming, dull, or complicated. The proposed ideas require a serious time investment and it doesn’t seem worth it. So, we have decided that we will put it in the freezer.
