Rate My Side/Weekend Project [abt.io]

Hi,<p>I just packaged a nifty tool we've been successfully using to help us pick a winner among a set of logos / designs / ideas / ...<p>http://abt.io/ is basically a "Facemash" for pretty much anything. You upload images or text, you share a link on your social networks, and your friends &#38; followers give you the answer you are looking for.<p>I'd love to get your feedback on the usefulness of this tool for startups &#38; projects. It's entirely free, and I hope it'll be useful to some of you!<p>PS: Somebody got that algo on the Harvard dorm window back in 03 ?<p>Cheers,<p>-stan

The site would really be helped by a WYSIWYG editor. What you see is what you get.<p>Basically, a new user creating an A/B test isn't going to understand the flow and terminology of the site. The workflow is quite confusing really.<p>But a new test taker will understand how the site works immediately upon seeing a pre-created test. A question and two pictures on the same page, simple.<p>To bridge that gap, make the test creation process look like the final result. Make it feel as if you're filling in the page with your info, rather than uploading separate pieces of info. Something like:<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/BzsNy.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/BzsNy.png</a>

I was thinking of doing something similar to this. I'm partially glad you didn't take the route I had in mind.<p>As for the facemash algo I think it was the ELO rating system. (when I watched the social network I squealed inside cause I recognized it instantly) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system</a>

Simple, but looks like it could be very useful.<p>I noticed that images are loaded in their original size - causes the page to "jump" when they're resized. Wouldn't it be better to resize them on the server?

This is very cool, it would be hard to make it simpler. Gathering feedback in a simple and efficient way is not an easy task.<p>Kudos for the reference to Facemash. Would you open source it ?
