Would probably be better to show X and Y and let people select which is better (or skip), and compute an ELO score. A list with hundreds of items isn't great
That would be good but I wanted to make an app where you just do a simple, fun task every day. With an ELO rating system you can just keep going and going whereas with this it only takes a minute or so
I was about to say the same thing. A trillion options is just unmanageable.
One (other) solution is to create a tiny algorithm that lets the user choose the best one compared to another, and do this maybe three times. Could be done on the same page, of course.

Honestly, comparing two options is much more fun than scrolling through a massive list and trying to figure out what your favourite item is
It's like comparing apples to oranges.
Doing it your way it will just end up being a ranking of things that are kind of okay, but comes up first in your mind.
ie: apples
(Still upset blackberries are only 20th)
With current approach, i will only look at first few items and pick my ratings from there.

So you have to choose between:
* Blueberry or strawberry?
* Raspberry or apple?
* Banana or raisin?
