I've had a similar idea kicking around for some time now. This might be it.

One of the core concepts I wanted was to see how my list E.g. "Top 10 Best burger joints in <city>" or "Top 5 white wines for a Summers evening" compared to others similar lists. I've never been able to land on how to best implement something like this, without requiring some kind of strict tagging by the user to enable like for like comparisons and accurate rankings.

I wanted to call it "Social List" / "Socialist" :-)

Language models or embedding distance might work quite well. Cool idea! :)

lovely idea! the core of Snack is that it is not a "social" platform persay, but will at some point have the ability to see top lists.

the idea is that curators known for their domain expertise, e.g. MKBHD for tech products as a list, would be more popular/shared than others.
