Show HN: RankPic – crowdsource your best photo

by bengold14 on 12/11/24, 1:01 PM with 3 comments

I've been building RankPic over the past 3 years & it's grown into a lovely community of people who help each other pick their best pictures for dating apps, professional photos etc.

The app flow is fairly simple:

- upload up to 6 photos in a test

- pay other users in credits to get your photos ranked

- get credits by ranking other people's photos

I've seen some pretty fun novel use cases, such as (multiple!) people using it to pick out glasses, wedding invites & so on

It was discussed yesterday on the Ask HN thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42373343) that got a good amount of interest, and really blew up my website views (1126 in a day vs my normal 2-6). I realized I had never done a proper show HN so wanted to officially share!

    Very interesting. I am curious, how big is your community, and how did you advertise it to grow it to the point it is at currently? And how many are active, i.e., how long does it normally take before your images have been ranked?
