RankIt: order, not scores.

RankIt is Neumarkets’ own product: a food guide where people put the restaurants and dishes they love in their own order. We built it for iPhone, Android and the web.

[ The idea ]

Rankings are never for sale, and no one person can publish a rank.

RankIt shows a position, never a star score. Restaurants can claim their listing, but that never changes where they rank.

[ Order, not scores ]

Press, hold,
drag.

The core of RankIt is one gesture: press and hold a restaurant or dish, then drag it into place. Your list is yours. City rankings move only when trusted diners agree.

  1. 01 / 03

    Your list, your order

    Press and hold, then drag. Every restaurant and dish sits in your own order, with no star ratings anywhere.

  2. 02 / 03

    The red line

    Drag a place below the red line if you wouldn’t go back. Everything above it is a recommendation.

  3. 03 / 03

    Trust before rank

    One person alone can’t publish a rank: a place needs trusted voters to agree before community votes move it.

[ What we built · 06 ]

One codebase,
three platforms.

A single TypeScript codebase ships the iPhone and Android apps and the web app.
