Great resource, though I've noticed 2 issues: * New entries start with a vote of 0, the poster has to actually up-vote their own submission to get it to 1 (as opposed to automatically making it 1 like on reddit). * The ranking appears to be a sum of up votes, only. Links that are added later (like now), show up at the very bottom and it's unlikely will reach the top. In a situation like this, to get attention, you're creating a race to post first. Consider some type of rank deterioration similar to reddit/HN.

Basic implementation of Reddit's Hot Order or something similar is pretty straightforward :) http://amix.dk/blog/post/19588 http://amix.dk/blog/post/19588

  But what about people who arrive at the site next week, and want to see the best of what they missed?

This is why the ability to downvote is so often worth the you-hurt-my-feelings tradeoff. http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating....

  I think there is a "secret" ability to downvote... see this https://www.dropbox.com/s/u012v405bka4fas/Screenshot%202015-07-29%2014.20.03.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/u012v405bka4fas/Screenshot%202015-... I hope it's just a huge bug

    I fixed it for you.

      Many Thanks. We really appreciate it. Unfortunately our score is still lower than the real upvotes we got - but at least is better than -20 ;)

Or is this just a way to keep topchart at the top? The second part really is irritating, given that new products are at the bottom of the pit and hidden under multiple 'Load More' with the slightest chance of anyone resurrecting it.

  It's definitely not a way to keep TopChart at the top. Since people in our network are already familiar with us, we were getting more upvotes. Any errors in upvotes will be corrected today. We even considered removing ourselves from the list, but that wouldn't be very fun :P

Wouldn't a subreddit be better for this type of voting platform?

Thanks for the feedback. All of this is right on and will be solved pretty soon. As for starting with 0, I might be wrong, but building lists is a bit different than other lists. It is possible that I'm adding lists items and I don't care to upvote them. Ultimately you are right though, and I plan to change that. As for ranking, I'm thinking of a good way to solve that problem. I'm sure I'll come up with something good. Rank deterioration is a good idea, will look into it more and weigh options.
