My one-stop shop combining Letterboxd, Goodreads, Vivino (basically anything).

You use it to 'rank' any abstract entity you choose. The idea is that you'll be able to find common things you like across categories (I think the type of books you like probably influences the kind of movies you like!)

This is really cool! Will sign-up after work as I can't do it from here.


I've made https://rankr.click

It's a little web application that allows for the ranking of all kinds of abstract entities. Think of the merging of Goodreads for books, Vivino for wine, Letterboxd for film, etc. This will allow you to instead rank whatever you want across a variety of different categories in a single place.

Using your rankings across all these different fields, you can draw analysis of what you like, and in future I'd like to add a little personal (not an ad) recommendation engine to help you find new stuff based on your actual interests across loads of different categories.

From a technical point of view, its been a great learning opportunity on how to fully host a complete stack using an opiniated, but cross-platform orchestrator, allowing me to host this wherever (bare metal VPS, homebrew system, cloud provider) in a flash.


You might want to add a home page that doesn’t require a google sign in so that visitors can see the product before any commitment


Having to give your personal data associated with Google account to see anything more than login page is too much.


Backend dev gets in a fight with frontend devs. Vows never to built sane UI for his remaning lifespan.


The go-to nowadays is System.Text.Json, developed by the same person as Newtonsoft.Json, built in to .NET.

Newtonsoft.Json as the primary JSON serializer (at least in every place I've worked) has NOT been the case versus System.Text.Json for years. Though it certainly used to be the case.


Doesn't Text.Json have a much narrower scope and plenty of features supported by Newtonsoft not available?



Uh okay! I was not aware of this. Thanks for pointing that out. Why is there so much difference in the NuGet downloads between both libraries tho?


System.Text.Json isn't needed as a nuget library for newer development, the library is only needed for older stuff.

Those older stuff are likely running newtonsoft.Json anyway.

There's also a load of .NET Framework applications still running Newstonsoft.


System.Text.Json ships as part of the shared framework in recent versions of .NET so for most users it won't be restored from nuget.org


System.Text.Json is out-of-the-box in .NET > 5. The NuGet package is primarily a compatibility layer for people still supporting .NET 4.x for whatever reason.


> Why is there so much difference in the NuGet downloads between both libraries tho?

Because there's a boatload of older .NET apps that have been using Newtonsoft for over a decade already and aren't in a rush to switch. Anything built on .NET Framework is likely to still use Newtonsoft.
