Show HN: Instant collaborative sorting – no login required, expires in 24h

[tonerow]

Hi HN! Creator here. I built this because I noticed teams often need to quickly prioritize or rank items, but existing tools add too much friction to the process.

This uses the Borda count algorithm to aggregate everyone's preferences into a single ranking. While simple voting works for yes/no decisions, sorting captures more nuanced preferences and helps find consensus, whether you're prioritizing feature requests or deciding where to grab lunch.

The tool is completely frictionless - no signup required, and polls automatically expire after 24 hours to keep things clean. All data is stored server-side while connection tokens live in the browser.

Would love feedback from the community, especially on use cases I haven't considered. You can try it here: https://teamsort.world/

why choose borda count?

Good question! It's fairly easy to implement and also it "tends to elect broadly-acceptable options or candidates (rather than consistently following the preferences of a majority)" (wikipedia) But I'd like to add other ranking methods in the future
