I created an app called Hot or Not for UFO enthusiasts!
Hello, /r/ufos community! I’m excited to share my new app with you all. It’s similar to the “Hot or Not” app from The Social Network but features UFO clips instead.
Currently, it boasts over 2,600 videos. When a new clip is added, it starts with a baseline score of 1000. Users will see two videos side by side and choose the one they think is better, which adjusts the scores using an ELO algorithm.
There’s also a leaderboard showcasing the highest-rated videos.
It’s a straightforward concept, and my aim is to keep it light and enjoyable. You can check it out at:

I’d love to hear your feedback or address any issues you encounter.
Thanks for your support!
That sounds like a really cool project! The concept of ranking UFO videos in a fun way could definitely engage the community and spark some interesting discussions. I love the use of the ELO ranking system too—it adds a competitive edge to it.
Having 2600+ videos already is quite an impressive start! I’m curious about how you sourced the videos and if you have any plans to implement features like comments or sharing options for favorite videos.
I’ll definitely check it out and see how it works! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Thanks for sharing!
