v0.3

• Added localization for german, english, french, finnish and japanese

Ranker is now able to check your system language on startup and change its window accordingly. Translations for french and finnish were done through DeepL while german, english and japanese were done manually.

v0.2

• Adds fully functional Undo option

This version is not backwards compatible with v0.1 due to how the selection of new entries worked in the past.

First Release

desa's Ranker

This application can be used to rank a list of entries by comparing two entries at a time.

Requires installation of Java SE Development Kit. It's been developed on corretto-17 JDK
and tested with the currently most recent JDK 24 as well with fully available functionality.
Java SE Development Kits can be found here https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/

To use the application, make sure to have a Tab-Seperated-Values list (.tsv file) in the same
directory as the .jar file. You are then presented with two choices at a time and have to
pick which one you prefer.

For longer lists there is an automatic save function that applies whenever a new entry has been
fully established in its ranking. Reopening the application at a later time will then load
your progress.

Files

Ranker.jar at this time requires a .tsv file with 2 columns. The first column presents the name
of the entries while the second column provides a description.

The output will then be two files that save your progress as well as a final ranking file that
contains the order of entries from worst to best along with a score for each entry.

Future Updates

Future Updates will feature:

• An undo option to revert your most recent choice
• Alternative point distribution algorithms
• Merging of several rankings into one
