Bestlist is a private search engine for discovering the best of anything. You can search and browse results, leave reviews by voting on results, and save results into collections, so you never lose another link.
I searched "best chess player," and it gave me accurate results. This app is now on my bookmark list as I frequently search for such info. Thanks for making and sharing it. A quick question, what are your plans for monetizing such an app?
@naveed_rehman Thank you! We're not worried too much about monetizing at this point, but our first thought is to show tasteful ads based on the user's search query.
👋 Helloooooooo, everyone!
I’m Tyler, founder of Bestlist, and I’m super excited to show off what we’ve been up to for the past 18 months.
It’s no secret that searching online has become more of a chore and less magical than it used to be circa 2001. Oftentimes, results don’t show you what you’re looking for, they’re stuffed with spammy SEO-optimized content, and the number of ads on the page is out of control. This is why we created Bestlist.
⁉️ **What is it?**
Bestlist is a search engine that is focused solely on helping users discover the best of anything. We do this by aggregating millions of data points, reviews, and comments, and running it through some machine learning, voodoo-hoodoo AI. (I’m non-technical)
All of our results are non-biased, non-paid, and are dynamically generated via our search algorithm. It’s not perfect, but we’re working extremely hard and are determined to make it ubiquitous in the lives of the everyday internet user.
It is also private. We highly respect your privacy, and we pledge to never share your personal data with advertisers or other third parties.
🧊 **Other cool features:**
Voting
If you’re feeling strongly about a search results, you can up or downvote the listing to voice your opinion. When you vote, you’ll be asked to state why you voted. This gives other users better insights into the listing.
Collections
With collections you can easily save and keep track of all of your favorite listings. Collections can be public or made private, and they’re easily edited, reordered, and shared.
Submissions
If you find that we’re missing a result for a particular query, you can easily submit it as a suggestion. We’ll review it, and publish it if it makes the cut.
😵💫 **Current Limitations:**
It’s currently English only.
We don’t handle searches that start with “Best way..” or “Best settings ..” or “Best route..” very well.
Also, searches for professionals (doctors, etc,) and recipes have issues.
I’m sure there are a lot more we’re missing.
