Site: www.elograde.com<p>Hi all, long time lurker and a YC interviewee reject here looking for some help =)<p>I believe I have come up with a way to objectively rate photos so that the rating is consistent and accurate and where different ratings have meaningful distances between them.<p>The general idea is to rate others' so that yours will be rated, but instead of actually rating, you compare photos against each other instead, and then win/losses are treated like games using the Elo rating system (like chess ratings or WoW arena ratings and so on) Then based on the ratings theres an additional tiered rank (trying for like a blackbelt or grandmaster type feel).<p>I would appreciate any feedback on the app, thanks
I'm looking at it now, but I'm not sure what some of these things mean.<p><pre><code> Your photo priority is 2 and you have 9 credits.

What does photo priority mean? What can I do with the credits?<p>What is your target audience for this? The verbiage is very technical across all of the pages, and I couldn't see anyone who wasn't technical really understand what's going on.<p>The voting functionality works all the ways I would expect it to - the buttons at the bottom of the photos or clicking on the photo I liked best both worked. The keyboard interface was a nice touch. It's clear that you've spent a lot of time thinking about how the voting would work.<p>I did have some problems with the navigation. It didn't feel very well considered, and I didn't like having to go back to the front page in order to get back to the main menu options. It would have been nice to have a navigation bar somewhere that would let me jump to all of the major sections.
