Pairckle is a website that allows you to create a ranking with simple pairwise comparisons. I made the first version in January 2025 using Next.js.

The website is similar to other sites, like tier list makers, that are used to rank different cultural elements. I didn't think tier lists were definitive enough of a ranking, and it can be difficult to compare one element to every other element that was already ranked. Using pairwise comparisons seemed much easier and more accurate, since everything is being compared to everything else one at a time. Pairckle shows two random elements from your input, and after picking which one you prefer a certain number of times, it creates your ultimate ranking.
